technical field

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to user interfaces, and more particularly, to techniques for displaying user interfaces with managed display usage.

Electronic devices may include screens for displaying user interfaces. Over time, uneven use of screens can result in discoloration of portions of the screen and degraded quality of displayed images.

However, some techniques for displaying user interfaces using electronic devices are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple keypresses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.

Accordingly, the present technique provides electronic devices with faster and more efficient methods and interfaces by which display usage is managed. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing display usage. Such methods improve image quality of displayed user interfaces (eg, reduce degradation of image quality) and improve durability of display devices used to display user interfaces as the electronic device ages. Additionally, such methods and interfaces also reduce the cognitive burden on the user and create a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.

A need exists for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for managing display usage. For example, prolonged display of user interfaces containing non-moving graphical objects (eg, static images) over time causes screen burn-in or image ghosting. This is especially true for portable multifunction devices with reduced sized displays, since elements of the displayed user interface are often repeatedly displayed in fixed positions on the display. Techniques carefully managing what is included on the user interface, how it is displayed, and when it is displayed minimize screen burn-in and image ghosting. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user accessing user interfaces, thereby improving productivity. Moreover, such techniques may reduce processor and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on excessive user inputs and excessive display brightness, and may improve wear characteristics of display devices used to display user interfaces.

Device 100 may optionally include one or more contact intensity sensors to detect intensity of contacts on device 100 (eg, a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 ). (165). Device 100 optionally includes a touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or a touchpad 355 of device 300 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (eg, a touchpad 355 of device 100 ). one or more tactile output generators 167 (for generating tactile outputs on the same touch-sensitive surface). These components optionally communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 103 .

As used in the specification and claims, the term “strength” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (eg, finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or touch Refers to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of contact on a sensitive surface. The intensity of the contact has a range of values including at least four distinct values and more typically including hundreds (eg, at least 256) distinct values. The intensity of the contact is optionally determined (or measured) using various approaches, and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors below or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are optionally used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (eg, weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of the stylus is optionally used to determine the pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size and/or changes thereto of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface, the capacitance and/or changes thereto of the touch-sensitive surface in the vicinity of the contact, and/or the touch-sensitive surface in the vicinity of the contact The resistance and/or changes thereto are optionally used as a substitute for the force or pressure of contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the surrogate measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (eg, the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the surrogate measurements). In some implementations, alternative measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (eg, an intensity threshold). is the pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of the contact as an attribute of the user input may not otherwise display affordances (eg, on a touch-sensitive display) and/or (eg, a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or Enables user access to additional device functions that may not be accessible by the user on reduced sized devices with limited footprint to receive user input (via physical/mechanical controls such as knobs or buttons) make it

As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to a physical displacement of a device relative to its previous position, a component of the device (eg, a touch-sensitive surface) relative to another component of the device (eg, a housing). ), or the displacement of a component with respect to the center of mass of the device to be detected by the user using the user's tactile sense. For example, in situations where a device or component of a device is in contact with a touch-sensitive surface of a user (eg, a finger, palm, or other portion of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement may to be interpreted as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in the physical properties of a component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (eg, a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is optionally interpreted by the user as a "down click" or "up click" of a physical actuator button. In some cases, the user will feel a tactile sensation such as a "down click" or "up click" even in the absence of movement of a physical actuator button associated with a touch-sensitive surface that is physically depressed (eg, displaced) by movement of the user. . As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is optionally interpreted or sensed by the user as "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in flatness of the touch-sensitive surface. Although these interpretations of touch by the user will be susceptible to the user's individualized sensory perception, there are many touch sensory perceptions common to the majority of users. Thus, when tactile output is described as corresponding to a user's specific sensory perception (eg, "up click", "down click", "roughness"), unless otherwise stated, the tactile output generated is typical (or average) corresponds to the physical displacement of the device or component thereof that will produce the described sensory perception for the user.

In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event classifier 170 to determine which application(s) is currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event classifier 170 to determine which application(s) are currently active. It is used to determine the application views 191 to which the event information by the

In some embodiments, application internal state 192 is a user indicating resume information to be used when application 136 - 1 resumes execution, information being displayed by application 136 - 1 or ready to be displayed. Interface state information, a state queue to enable the user to return to a previous state or view of the application 136 - 1 , and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user. Include additional information, such as one or more.

The event monitor 171 receives event information from the peripheral interface 118 . The event information includes information about a subevent (eg, a user touch on the touch-sensitive display 112 as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripheral interface 118 is from I/O subsystem 106 or sensors, such as proximity sensor 166 , accelerometer(s) 168 , and/or microphone 113 (via audio circuitry 110 ). Transmits the information it receives. Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (eg, receiving input exceeding a predetermined noise threshold and/or input for exceeding a predetermined duration). .

In some embodiments, the event classifier 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173 .

Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a subevent occurred within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that the user can see on the display.

Another aspect of a user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes referred to herein as application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of each application) for which touch is detected optionally correspond to program levels in the application's program or view hierarchy. For example, the lowest-level view in which a touch is detected is optionally referred to as a hit view, and the set of events recognized as appropriate inputs is, optionally, based at least in part on the hit view of the initial touch that initiates the touch-based gesture. is decided

The hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of the touch-based gesture. If the application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should handle the subevent. In most situations, the hit view is the lowest level view in which the initiated subevent (eg, the first subevent in the sequence of subevents that forms the event or potential event) occurs. Once a hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172 , the hit view typically receives all subevents related to the same touch or input source that caused it to be identified as the hit view.

The active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within the view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of subevents. In some embodiments, the active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of subevents. In other embodiments, the active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views including the physical location of the subevent are actively involved views, so that all actively involved views are specific to the subevents. It decides that it should receive the sequence. In other embodiments, even if the touch subevents are exclusively confined to the area associated with one particular view, the top views in the hierarchy will still remain as actively engaged views.

The event dispatcher module 174 dispatches event information to an event recognizer (eg, event recognizer 180 ). In embodiments that include an active event recognizer determination module 173 , the event dispatcher module 174 communicates event information to the event recognizer determined by the active event recognizer determination module 173 . In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores event information in an event queue, which event information is fetched by each event receiver 182 .

In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event classifier 170 . Alternatively, application 136 - 1 includes event classifier 170 . In still other embodiments, event classifier 170 is a standalone module or is part of another module stored in memory 102 , such as contact/motion module 130 .

In some embodiments, application 136 - 1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191 , each of which is a touch event occurring within a respective view of the application's user interface. Includes instructions for processing them. Each application view 191 of application 136 - 1 includes one or more event recognizers 180 . Typically, each application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180 . In other embodiments, one or more of the event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit or higher-level object from which the application 136 - 1 inherits methods and other characteristics. In some embodiments, each event handler 190 is one of data updater 176 , object updater 177 , GUI updater 178 , and/or event data 179 received from event classifier 170 . includes more than Event handler 190 optionally uses or calls data updater 176 , object updater 177 , or GUI updater 178 to update application internal state 192 . Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more respective event handlers 190 . Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176 , object updater 177 , and GUI updater 178 are included within each application view 191 .

Each event recognizer 180 receives event information (eg, event data 179 ) from the event classifier 170 and identifies an event from the event information. The event recognizer 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184 . In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of metadata 183 and event delivery instructions 188 (optionally including subevent delivery instructions).

The event receiver 182 receives event information from the event classifier 170 . The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the subevent, the event information also includes additional information such as the location of the subevent. If the sub-event relates to motion of the touch, the event information also optionally includes the speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (eg, from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes the device's current orientation (also referred to as device pose). ) and corresponding information about

The event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or subevent definitions, and based on the comparison, determines an event or subevent, or determines or updates the status of the event or subevent. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186 . Event definitions 186 include definitions of events (eg, predefined sequences of sub-events), eg, Event 1 187-1, Event 2 187-2, and the like. In some embodiments, subevents within event 187 include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch move, touch cancel, and multi-touch. In one example, the definition for event 1 187 - 1 is a double tap on the displayed object. A double tap is, for example, a first touch (touch start) on a displayed object during a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) during a predetermined phase, a displayed object during a predetermined phase a second touch on the upper body (touch start), and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 187 - 2 is dragging on the displayed object. Dragging includes, for example, a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, movement of the touch across the touch-sensitive display 112 , and liftoff of the touch (touch termination). In some embodiments, the event also includes information about one or more associated event handlers 190 .

In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for each user interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user interface object is associated with a subevent. For example, in an application view in which three user interface objects are displayed on the touch-sensitive display 112 , when a touch is detected on the touch-sensitive display 112 , the event comparator 184 displays the three user interface objects A hit test is performed to determine which of these is associated with a touch (subevent). When each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, the event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the object and subevent that triggers the hit test.

In some embodiments, the definition for each event 187 also includes deferred actions of delaying delivery of event information until after it is determined whether the sequence of subevents corresponds to or does not correspond to an event type of the event recognizer. .

If each event recognizer 180 determines that the set of sub-events does not match any of the events in event definitions 186 , each event recognizer 180 determines that the event is impossible, event failed, or An event end state is entered, after which each event recognizer ignores subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers that remain active for the hit view, if any, continue to track and process sub-events of the touch-based gesture in progress.

In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 includes configurable attributes, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform subevent delivery to actively participating event recognizers. and metadata 183 with In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact with, or come to interact with, each other. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether subevents are delivered to various levels in the view or program hierarchy.

In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the event when one or more specific subevents of the event are recognized. In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 passes event information associated with the event to an event handler 190 . Activating the event handler 190 is separate from sending (and delayed sending) subevents to each hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 sends a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.

In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include subevent delivery instructions that deliver event information about a subevent without activating an event handler. Instead, subevent delivery instructions pass event information to event handlers associated with a series of subevents or to actively engaged views. Event handlers associated with a series of subevents or actively engaged views receive event information and perform a predetermined process.

In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136 - 1 . For example, the data updater 176 updates a phone number used in the contact module 137 or stores a video file used in the video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136 - 1 . For example, the object updater 177 creates a new user interface object or updates the location of the user interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information for display on a touch-sensitive display and sends it to graphics module 132 .

In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or accesses data updater 176 , object updater 177 , and GUI updater 178 . In some embodiments, data updater 176 , object updater 177 , and GUI updater 178 are included within a single module of each application 136 - 1 or application view 191 . In other embodiments, they are included within two or more software modules.

As used herein, the term “affordance” refers to a user interaction selectively displayed on a display screen of devices 100 , 300 , and/or 500 ( FIGS. 1A , 3 , and 5A and 5B ). Refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object. For example, each of an image (eg, an icon), a button, and text (eg, a hyperlink) optionally constitutes an affordance. In some examples, affordance is displayed as a complication associated with a clock face.

As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that represents the current portion of a user interface with which the user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, a touch-sensitive surface (eg, FIG. 3 ) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (eg, a button, window, slider, or other user interface element) When an input (eg, a press input) is detected on the touchpad 355 of the or touch-sensitive surface 451 of FIG. 4B ), the cursor becomes a "focus selector" such that a particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. function as Some implementations include a touch screen display (eg, touch-sensitive display system 112 of FIG. 1A or touch screen 112 of FIG. 4A ) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display. In some cases, a particular user interface element is detected when an input (eg, a touch input) is detected on a touch screen display at the location of a particular user interface element (eg, a button, window, slider, or other user interface element). A contact detected on the touch screen functions as a “focus selector” to be adjusted according to the entered input. In some implementations, focus is moved to one of the user interfaces without movement of a corresponding cursor or contact or movement of a corresponding cursor on the touch screen display (eg, by using a tab key or an arrow key to move focus from one button to another). moved from one area of the user interface to another area of the user interface; In such implementations, the focus selector moves in response to movement of focus between different areas of the user interface. Irrespective of the particular form a focus selector has, a focus selector generally uses a user interface to convey the user's intended interaction with the user interface (eg, by indicating to the device an element of the user interface with which the user wants to interact). A user interface element (or contact on a touch screen display) controlled by For example, while a press input is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (eg, a touchpad or touch screen), the position of a focus selector (eg, cursor, contact, or selection box) over each button (eg, on the device's display) It will indicate that the user is about to activate the respective button (unlike other user interface elements shown).

As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a property of a contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the feature intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is optionally determined by a predefined number of intensity samples, or (eg, after detecting the contact, before detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting the start of movement of the contact; A predetermined period of time (eg, before or after detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in the intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in the intensity of the contact) for the predefined event. 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds). The characteristic intensity of the contact is, optionally, a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact. ), a value of half the maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a value of 90 percent of the maximum value of the intensities of the contact, and the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used to determine the feature intensity (eg, when the feature intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an action was performed by the user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a result of a contact having a characteristic intensity that does not exceed a first threshold, a first action is performed, and a result of a contact having a characteristic intensity that exceeds a first intensity threshold but does not exceed a second intensity threshold, a second An action is performed, and as a result of the contact having a characteristic intensity above the second threshold, a third action is performed. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic strength and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether to perform one or more actions (eg, perform each action) rather than being used to determine whether to perform the first action or the second action. to decide whether or not to hold off performing each action).

5C illustrates detecting a plurality of contacts 552A-552E on the touch-sensitive display screen 504 using a plurality of intensity sensors 524A-524D. 5C further includes intensity diagrams showing current intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A-524D for intensity units. In this example, the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A, 524D are each 9 intensity units, and the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524B, 524C are each seven intensity units. In some implementations, the total intensity is the sum of the intensity measurements of the plurality of intensity sensors 524A-524D, which in this example is 32 intensity units. In some embodiments, each contact is assigned a respective intensity that is a fraction of the total intensity. 5D illustrates assigning a total intensity to contacts 552A-552E based on their respective distances from center of force 554 . In this example, contacts 552A, 552B, 552E are each assigned an intensity of the contact of 8 intensity units of the total intensity, and contacts 552C and 552D are each assigned an intensity of the contact of 4 intensity units of the total intensity, respectively. is allocated More generally, in some implementations, each contact j is assigned a respective intensity Ij that is a fraction of the total intensity A according to a predefined mathematical function Ij = A·(Dj/ΣDi). , where Dj is the distance of each contact j to the center of force, and ΣDi is the sum of the distances of all individual contacts to the center of force (eg, i=1 to the last). Operations described with reference to FIGS. 5C and 5D may be performed using an electronic device similar to or the same as device 100 , 300 , or 500 . In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity of the contact is based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, intensity sensors are used to determine a single feature intensity (eg, a single feature intensity of a single contact). It should be noted that the intensity diagrams are not part of the displayed user interface and are included in FIGS. 5C and 5D to aid the reader.

In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified to determine a characteristic strength. For example, the touch-sensitive surface optionally receives successive swipe contacts transitioning from the starting position to reach the ending position, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location is optionally based on only a portion of the successive swipe contacts (eg, only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location) rather than the entire swipe contact. In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is optionally applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm may optionally include an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. contains more than one. In some situations, these smoothing algorithms remove narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact to determine the characteristic intensity.

The intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface is optionally characterized for one or more intensity thresholds, such as a touch-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button or trackpad of a physical mouse. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from those typically associated with clicking a button or trackpad of a physical mouse. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below a light press intensity threshold (eg, and above a nominal contact detection intensity threshold, below which the contact is no longer detected), the device activates the light press intensity It will move the focus selector according to movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an action associated with the threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. In general, unless stated otherwise, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface drawings.

An increase in the characteristic intensity of a contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "light press" input. An increase in the characteristic intensity of a contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase in the characteristic intensity of a contact from an intensity below the touch detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the touch detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting a contact on a touch surface. A decrease in the characteristic intensity of a contact from an intensity above the contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch surface. In some embodiments, the touch detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.

In some embodiments described herein, the one or more actions detect each press input performed with each contact (or plurality of contacts) or in response to detecting a gesture comprising the respective press input. and wherein each press input is detected based, at least in part, on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, each action is performed in response to detecting an increase in intensity of each contact above a press input intensity threshold (eg, a “down stroke” of each press input). In some embodiments, the press input comprises an increase in the intensity of each contact above the press input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the contact below the press input intensity threshold, wherein each action is each below the press input intensity threshold is performed in response to detecting a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the contact (eg, an “up stroke” of each press input).

5E-5H illustrate contact 562 from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold (eg, “IT _L ”) of FIG. 5E to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold (eg, “IT _D ”) of FIG. 5H . Depicts detection of a gesture comprising a press input corresponding to an increase in intensity. On the displayed user interface 570 that includes application icons 572A-572D displayed in a predefined area 574, while the cursor 576 is displayed over the application icon 572B corresponding to App 2, A gesture performed using contact 562 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 560 . In some embodiments, the gesture is detected on the touch-sensitive display 504 . Intensity sensors detect the intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 560 . The device determines that the intensity of the contact 562 has peaked above a deep press intensity threshold (eg, “IT _D ”). Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitive surface 560 . In response to detection of the gesture, and according to contact 562 having an intensity that exceeds a deep press intensity threshold (eg, "IT _D ") during the gesture, reduced scale representations of recently opened documents for App 2 ( 578A-578C (eg, thumbnails) are displayed, as shown in FIGS. 5F-5H . In some embodiments, the intensity compared to one or more intensity thresholds is a characteristic intensity of the contact. It should be noted that the intensity diagram for contact 562 is not part of the displayed user interface and is included in FIGS. 5E-5H to aid the reader.

In some embodiments, the display of representations 578A-578C includes an animation. For example, as shown in FIG. 5F , representation 578A is initially displayed proximate to application icon 572B. As the animation progresses, representation 578A moves up and representation 578B is displayed proximate to application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. 5G . Then, as shown in FIG. 5H , representation 578A moves upward, representation 578B moves upward toward representation 578A, and representation 578C is displayed proximate to application icon 572B. Representations 578A-578C form an array over icon 572B. In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5F and 5G , the animation progresses according to the intensity of contact 562 , wherein the intensity of contact 562 exceeds a deep press intensity threshold (eg, “IT _D ”). Representations 578A-578C appear and move upward as increasing towards. In some embodiments, the intensity on which the progress of the animation is based is a characteristic intensity of the contact. The operations described with reference to FIGS. 5E-5H may be performed using an electronic device similar to or identical to device 100 , 300 , or 500 .

In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs, sometimes referred to as “jitter”, where the device has a hysteresis intensity threshold ( For example, the hysteresis intensity threshold is an X intensity unit lower than the press input intensity threshold, or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some suitable percentage of the press input intensity threshold). As such, in some embodiments, the press input comprises an increase in the intensity of each contact above the press input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold, each The operation of is performed in response to detecting a subsequent decrease in the intensity of each contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold (eg, an “up stroke” of each press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input causes the device to increase the intensity of the contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press input intensity threshold, and optionally, to an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold. It is detected only if a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the contact is detected, and each operation is performed in response to detecting a press input (eg, an increase in the intensity of the contact or a decrease in the intensity of the contact depending on the environment).

For convenience of description, descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture comprising a press input include, optionally, an increase in an intensity of a contact above a press input intensity threshold, a hysteresis intensity threshold an increase in the intensity of the contact from an intensity below the press input intensity threshold to an intensity above the press input intensity threshold, a decrease in the intensity of the contact below the press input intensity threshold, and/or an intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold. Triggered in response to detecting either of the reductions. Further, in examples where the action is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in the intensity of the contact below the press input intensity threshold, the action is, optionally, less than a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to and lower than the press input intensity threshold. is performed in response to detecting a decrease in the intensity of the contact.

Attention is now directed to embodiments of user interfaces (“UIs”) and associated processes implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100 , device 300 , device 500 , or device 600 .

6A-6X illustrate example techniques for displaying user interfaces, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces of these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes of FIG. 7 . In particular, FIGS. 6A-6X illustrate techniques for managing display usage by changing one or more aspects (eg, visual characteristics) of a displayed user interface upon determining that the device has met mode transition criteria. do. In some embodiments, the mode transition criteria include reduced user activity or reduced user interaction with the electronic device (eg, reduced user activity (physical movement) for a predetermined period of time; lack of user input for a predetermined period of time). ; detecting a predefined gesture on the display, such as a cover gesture, corresponding to a request to transition modes). In some embodiments, detecting that the device has met criteria is dependent on a user gesture (eg, wrist-down, wrist-up, palm over display). receiving corresponding data from one or more sensors (eg, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor), receiving data indicative of user activity below a threshold activity level from the one or more sensors, and one or more input devices determining that a predetermined period of time has elapsed without detecting user input at (eg, a touch screen, a rotatable input mechanism, a pressurable input mechanism). In some embodiments, the predefined duration associated with the mode transition criteria is different depending on how display of the currently displayed user interface was initiated (eg, a longer predefined duration for tap input and wrist lift ( shorter predefined period for wrist raise).

Upon determining that the mode transition criteria have been met, the device transitions from the first mode to a second mode (eg, a low power mode). In some embodiments, while operating in the second mode, device 600 operates, for example, by operating one or more processors of the device at a reduced load, as compared to operation in the first mode, such as one or more of the device. By waking (eg, enabling or turning on) processors at increased intervals (eg, at a reduced rate; less frequently), energy is saved. In some embodiments, the processor includes hardware (eg, a microprocessor, etc.). In some embodiments, the processor includes one or more software components (eg, software modules for performing various functions; a module for displaying information from applications on a display device; processing sensor data received by the device) module for performing the functions, a module for performing calculations necessary to perform or implement various features of the device, etc.).

Among the visual characteristics described below that may change upon transitioning device modes are the overall brightness of the displayed user interface (eg, average pixel luminance (APL) of pixels comprising the user interface on the display; average lumen output, total lumen output, average illuminance, or total illuminance (brightness expressed in nits, lux, or lumens). To illustrate this, FIGS. 6A-6X (and FIGS. 8A-8M, 10A-10I, 14A-14E, 16A-16F, and 18A-18L) each show a respective user interface. includes a brightness scale 630 representing the brightness level displayed on display 602 by device 600 . For example, represented by the difference between the respective brightness scales (eg, the position of the circular indicator relative to the top (“HIGH”) and bottom (“LOW”) ends of each scale) As will be appreciated, the clock face user interface 608 - 1 of FIG. 6A is displayed at a higher brightness level (eg, greater brightness) than the clock face user interface 608 - 2 of FIG. 6B .

Throughout the present invention, the concept of brightness levels also refers to individual graphical elements or groups of graphical elements (eg, individual graphical elements or groups of graphical elements included within various clock face user interfaces displayed by device 600 on display 602 ). discussed in relation to affordances, graphic elements contained within affordances, complications, clock face elements, backgrounds, indicators, etc.). Similar to the brightness level of the clock face user interface, the brightness level of a graphical element as displayed within the clock face user interface on display 602 may also be varied (eg, using techniques described below). However, as shown throughout the figures described below, unless otherwise noted, brightness scale 630 is a measure of the overall brightness level of each clock face user interface (eg, individual graphics within each clock face user interface). Note that it reflects the entire clock face user interface being displayed, not the brightness level of elements or groups of graphic elements. Moreover, the brightness scale 630 is not part of any user interface displayed on the device 600 .

In addition to the brightness scale 630 , the relative displayed brightness of the clock face user interface, and the elements that make up the clock face user interfaces described below (eg, graphical objects displayed in or on the user interface, backgrounds) etc.) is also represented by the illustrated shading intensity of each figure (eg, white or paler gray to indicate lighter displayed elements; darker gray to indicate less brightly displayed elements).

In some embodiments, brightness levels may be adjusted (increased or decreased) using alpha blending. In some embodiments, reducing the brightness level includes using alpha blending without changing the backlight of the electronic device to generate a simulated or actual backlight level. For example, the device may alpha blend image data representing a watch face user interface (or part of a watch face user interface, such as an affordance or complication) with a progressively opaque black masking layer, such that it appears on the screen as displayed on the screen. The same watch face user interface can be dimmed progressively (eg, such that the user interface is fading to black).

In some embodiments, the brightness level of a graphical object within the clock face user interface is changed by changing the shape or configuration of the graphical object itself. For example, the brightness of a white watch hand may be reduced by reducing the thickness of the watch hand (eg, by removing white pixels from the element). In some embodiments, the brightness level of the graphical object is changed (eg, reduced or dimmed) by replacing solid-colored areas of the object with similarly colored outlines of the solid-colored areas. In some embodiments, the brightness level of a graphic object can be changed by changing its color, for example, from a lighter color (eg, white, light gray, yellow, etc.) to a darker color (black, dark gray, blue, etc.). By substituting, it is reduced or dimmed. Any combination of the brightness altering techniques described above or similar techniques well known in the art may be used to adjust brightness levels of graphical objects and clock face user interfaces, in accordance with embodiments described below.

Display. In some embodiments, while device 600 continues to operate in standard display mode, the standard display mode brightness level decreases in response to detecting, at one or more sensors of device 600 , reduced ambient light levels. (eg, lower ambient light levels result in lower display brightness levels as described in more detail with respect to FIGS. 10D and 10E below).

As shown in FIG. 6A , a clock face user interface 608 - 1 displays current hour, minute, and second values for an analog representation 610 of time (eg, a time scale 612 ). representation of analog watch hands), and multiple affordances (eg, watch face complications). In some embodiments, each affordance is associated with an application on device 600 (eg, affordance, upon selection, launches the associated application; affordance displays information from the associated application).

Date affordance 614 represents the current date and a description of an upcoming calendar event (eg, “8:00AM YOGA GYM”). The world clock affordance 616 is a geographic location (eg, “MAD” for Madrid, Spain), a time associated with that geographic location (eg, an analog clock dial with hour and minute hands), and a day, night, sunset, or It represents an indication of sunrise (eg to indicate that it is daytime in Madrid based on a light shade of the background (eg darker shades are displayed later in the day)). In some embodiments, world clock affordance 616 includes an offset to local time. In some embodiments, the position of the position indicator moves to avoid overlapping or interfering with the watch hands as they progress around the world watch dial.

Compass affordance 618 is a graphic of a cardinal or intercardinal direction that is updated as the orientation of the device 600 (or the orientation of a second device coupled to the device 600) changes. Examples include compass needle graphics), text (eg, “NW”), and numeric (“330” degrees) indicators.

Timer affordance 620 includes a numeric indicator (eg, “14:59”) and radial markings each indicating remaining time associated with the timer application. The radial markings are sequentially changed (eg, the size and/or color is visually de-emphasized) such that the ratio of the unaltered radial markings is proportional to the time remaining on the decrementing counter associated with the timer application.

Heart rate affordance 622 , moon affordance 624 , stopwatch affordance 626 , and exercise affordance 628 are displayed in the corners of watch face user interface 608 - 1 . As shown in FIG. 6A , stopwatch affordance 626 includes a numeric indicator (eg, incrementing seconds, minutes, and milliseconds) of elapsed time associated with a stopwatch application on device 600 .

6B illustrates device 600 (eg, device 600 is in a transition mode or state) after determining that the mode change criteria have been met, and in response, transitioning from the standard display mode. In some embodiments, device 600 determines that the mode change criteria have been met after not detecting user inputs for a predetermined amount of time (eg, 60 seconds).

In FIG. 6B , while in the mode transition state, device 600 displays clock face user interface 608 - 2 on display 602 (eg, device 600 displays a transition interface). Clock face user interface 608-2 is a lower power consumption user interface (eg, as shown in FIG. 6C ) that clock face user interface 608-1 (eg, a higher power consumption user interface) corresponds to. A frame of animation (eg, a sequence of frames or images) that illustrates visually morphing to the clock face user interface 608-3). In some embodiments, device 600 displays a plurality of animation frames (eg, transition interfaces) while operating in a transition state between device modes (eg, standard power display mode and low power display mode).

As shown in FIG. 6B , and as discussed above, device 600 displays clock face user interface 608 - 2 on display 602 at a lower brightness level than clock face user interface 608 - 1 . displays (e.g., the overall brightness level or average of the brightness values of the pixels that make up the clock face user interface 608-2 on the display 602) 608-1)). Clock face user interface 608-2 includes various modifications to clock face user interface 608-1 (eg, changes to the brightness and positioning of individual elements (eg, affordances), removal of content, etc.) ) is included. However, since the watch face user interface 608 - 2 represents an intermediate visual state, these differences will be discussed in more detail below with reference to FIG. 6C .

6C illustrates device 600 in a low power display mode (eg, after the transition from the standard display mode to the low power display mode has ended). 6C , while operating in a low power display mode, device 600 displays a watch face user interface 608 - 3 (eg, a lower power consumption user interface) on display 602 . Clock face user interface 608-3 is displayed at a lower brightness level than clock face user interface 608-1 (and clock face user interface 608-2). In some embodiments, the watch face user interface 608 - 3 is displayed as a fixed percentage of the brightness level at which the device 600 displays the watch face user interface 608 - 1 . In some embodiments, clock face user interface 608 - 3 is displayed at a brightness level based at least in part on an ambient light level detected by one or more sensors of device 600 (eg, higher ambient light levels are higher brightness levels while in low power display mode).

Clock face user interface 608-3 includes less content than clock face user interface 608-1. As shown in FIG. 6C , the analog representation 610 of the time does not include a second hand, the date affordance 614 does not include a description of an upcoming calendar event (eg, “8:00AM YOGA GYM”), and the time Scale 612 includes fewer tick marks, compass affordance 618 includes no textual (eg, “NW”) or numeric (“330” degrees) indicators of direction, timer affordance 620 does not include seconds data. Additionally, watch face user interface 608 - 3 does not include an affordance corresponding to heart rate affordance 622 (eg, heart rate affordance 622 in response to device 600 transitioning from a standard display mode to a low power display mode). ) has been removed).

In addition to including less or reduced content, corresponding elements in the watch face user interface 608-3 are displayed on the device 600 differently than they were previously displayed in the watch face user interface 608-1. displayed by In FIG. 6C , the hour and minute hands of analog representation of time 610 are displayed in two colors rather than one (eg, each hand represents an interior lighter colored area outlined by a darker colored area). included). Additionally, as shown in FIG. 6C , the point of rotation of the analog display 610 of time (eg, the stationary element around which the clock hands rotate) is (eg, clock face user interface 608-1 of FIG. 6A ) is displayed with a lower brightness level (eg, a darker color) compared to the clock hands (as compared to the depiction of the hands and rotation point of the analog display 610 of the time in ).

Device 600 compares each affordance to their respective displayed brightness levels (eg, standard display mode brightness levels) in FIG. 6A to reduce brightness levels (eg, low power display mode brightness levels). ) in the clock face user interface 608-3.

As shown in FIG. 6C , the change in brightness levels between corresponding elements (eg, affordances) within the clock face user interfaces 608 - 1 , 608 - 3 is not uniform (eg, some elements are different from each other). more dimmed than elements). As shown in the clock face user interface 608-3 of FIG. 6C , compared to their respective depictions in the clock face user interface 608-1 of FIG. 6A , the world clock affordance 616 is a date affordance (614), compass affordance (618), and timer affordance (620). Similarly, analog representation of time 610 was less dimmed than all other affordances shown in clock face user interface 608-3 (eg, analog representation 610 of time, still showing brightly displayed portions inclusive, whereas affordances do not). Likewise, the point of rotation of the analog representation of time 610 (eg, the stationary element around which the hands rotate) was more dimmed than the hands.

As shown in FIG. 6C , the device 600 compares the respective affordances to their respective sizes in the watch face user interface 608 - 1 at a reduced size in the watch face user interface 608 - 3 . ) (eg, the corresponding outlines represent the magnitude of affordances in the watch face user interface 608 - 1 while the device is in the standard display mode). As shown in FIG. 6C (eg, while the device is in a low power display mode), date affordance 614 , world clock affordance 616 , compass affordance 618 , timer affordance 620 , moon affordance 624 . , and the stopwatch affordance 626 has been reduced in place compared to their depiction in FIG. 6A (eg, the center of each affordance is in the same position relative to the edges of the display 602 in both FIGS. 6A and 6C ) maintained). In some embodiments, the one or more affordances may instead, instead, collapse towards a common center point (eg, towards the center of display 602 or time (eg, as described in connection with FIG. 8M below). can be translated towards the rotation point of the analog representation 610 of ).

6C , while operating in the low power display mode, device 600 detects user input 632-1 (eg, an upward swipe on display 602).

7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for managing display usage using an electronic device, in accordance with some embodiments. Method 700 is performed at a device having a display (eg, 100 , 300 , 500 , 600 ). Some operations of the method 700 are selectively combined, the orders of some operations are selectively changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 100 , 300 , 500 , 600 ) is a computer system. The computer system, optionally, is in communication (eg, wired communication, wireless communication) with the display generating component. The display generating component is configured to provide a visual output, such as a display via a CRT display, a display via an LED display, or a display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generating component is integrated with a computer system. In some embodiments, the display generating component is separate from the computer system.

As described below, the method 700 provides an intuitive way to manage display usage. The method reduces power usage and the possibility of screen burn-in. The method also reduces the cognitive burden on the user for managing display usage, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling the device to automatically manage display usage faster and more efficiently saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

In general, different brightness levels may be achieved using various techniques that may be employed individually or concurrently. In some embodiments, the brightness level of the graphical element is changed by changing (eg, brightening, dimming) the brightness of some (or all) pixels of the graphical element. In some embodiments, the brightness level of the graphic element can be adjusted by modifying the graphic element so that fewer (or more) pixels are illuminated, for example, thinning (or thickening) the lines of the graphic element, and changing the background of the graphic element. It is removed (or added) and changed by reducing (or enlarging) the size of the graphic element.

While the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays, on the display, a first time indicator 704 and a first graphical object Display 702 a first user interface including 706 (eg, a watch face of a smart watch; 608-1). A first time indicator 704 (eg, the hands of 610 in FIG. 6A ) (eg, an analog clock hand (hour, minute, second hand); digital clock number (hour, minute, second numbers)) is a first displayed as a brightness level (eg, average pixel luminance (APL), average lumen output, total lumen output, average illuminance, or total illuminance; brightness expressed in nits, lux, or lumens) of an indicator on the display. A first graphical object 706 (eg, center of 610 in FIG. 6A ; 614 , 616 , 618 , 620 in FIG. 6A ) (eg, affordance; affordance representing a first application; interactive graphical object; clock Affordance displayed as a complication associated with the dial; a graphical element that is not updated (the point of rotation of the clock hand; a colon separating the digital clock digits)) is set to a second brightness level (eg, a brightness level equal to the first brightness level; a first brightness level). a different brightness level than the brightness level).

The electronic device (eg, 600 ) determines criteria for the electronic device to transition from the first mode to the second mode (eg, reduced user activity or reduced user interaction with the electronic device (eg, reduced user interaction for a predetermined period of time). determining a user activity (physical movement); determining a lack of user input for a predetermined period of time; detecting a predefined gesture) has been met (708). In some embodiments, detecting that the electronic device has met the criteria comprises sending data corresponding to a user gesture (eg, lowered wrist, raised wrist, palm over display) to one or more sensors (eg, accelerometer, gyro) receiving from a scope, a proximity sensor), receiving data from one or more sensors indicative of user activity below a threshold activity level, and allowing the device to use one or more input devices (eg, a touch screen, a rotatable input mechanism, a press and determining that the predetermined period of time has elapsed without receiving user input from the enable input mechanism.

In response to detecting that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) removes the electronic device from the first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode). Transition to mode 2 (eg, a lower power consumption mode) (710). The first mode and the second mode are different modes in which the electronic device can operate. In some embodiments, the overall brightness of the display in the first mode exceeds the overall brightness of the display in the second mode when displaying the corresponding user interface. In some embodiments, the rate of display refresh is higher in the first mode compared to the second mode. In some embodiments, one or more processors of the electronic device are awake for a higher percentage of time when the device is in the first mode compared to when the device is in the second mode. In some embodiments, one or more processors of the electronic device wake up more frequently over a period of time when the device is in the first mode compared to when the device is in the second mode. In some embodiments, more portions of the one or more processors of the electronic device are running when the device is in the first mode compared to when the device is in the second mode. In some embodiments, the electronic device performs, in the second mode, processor power management techniques not employed in the first mode (eg, slowing down or turning off a core clock, slowing down a bus clock) on or off, reducing the main CPU voltage (VCC)).

While the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays, on a display (eg, 602 ), a second time indicator 714 and a second graphical object 716 . A second user interface including (eg, 608-3) is displayed (712).

The second time indicator 714 represents the current time (the hands of 610 in FIG. 6C ) (eg, analog clock hands (hour, minute, second hands); digital clock numbers (hour, minute, second numbers)). . The second temporal indicator is displayed at a third brightness level that is lower by a first amount than the first brightness level at which the first temporal indicator was previously displayed.

A second graphical object 716 corresponds to the first graphical object (eg, the center of 610 in FIG. 6C ; 614 , 616 , 618 , 620 in FIG. 6C ) (eg, a non-interactive form of the first graphical object) a graphical object that represents the same application as the first graphical object; a graphical object containing a subset of the data contained in the first graphical object (only mm remains rather than mm:ss remains). The second graphical object has a fourth brightness level lower than a second brightness level at which the first graphical object was previously displayed by a second amount that is different from the first amount of a difference in brightness between the first brightness level and the second brightness level is displayed as

Displaying the time indicator at reduced brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life. Displaying graphical objects at reduced brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life. Reducing the brightness of an indicator and a graphical object by different amounts causes the device to significantly reduce the brightness of a less relevant visual element (eg, a graphical object) while still adding another visual element (eg, a temporal indicator) to that element. By displaying with a more perceptible brightness, more power can be saved.

In some embodiments, a display (eg, a display while displaying a first user interface (eg, a watch face of a smart watch; 608-1) while the electronic device is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode)) The first display brightness of 602 in FIG. 6A is the brightness of the display (eg, 602 in FIG. 6C ) while displaying a second user interface while the electronic device is in a second mode (eg, lower power consumption mode). Exceeds the second display brightness. Accordingly, the overall brightness of the display is reduced when displaying the second user interface while the electronic device is in the second mode as compared to displaying the first user interface while the electronic device is in the first mode. Reducing the overall brightness of the display reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life, while still allowing the user to access the device.

In some embodiments, the second display brightness (eg, 602 in FIG. 6C ) is selected based on the first display brightness (eg, 602 in FIG. 6A ). In some embodiments, the electronic device selects the second display brightness by decreasing the first display brightness by a predetermined amount or percentage. Selecting the second display brightness based on the first display brightness allows accommodating user preferences and visual requirements, while reducing power usage of the device and improving battery life.

In some embodiments, the second display brightness (eg, 602 in FIG. 6C ) is selected based on at least an ambient light level (eg, ambient light level). In some embodiments, when the electronic device detects a first level (eg, a high level) of ambient light, the electronic device determines that the electronic device is less bright at a second level (eg, a low level) of the first level of ambient light. Select the second display brightness to be brighter than when detecting ambient light of As a result, the electronic device adapts the second brightness level to the ambient light. In some embodiments, the amount of dimming increases as the environment brightness increases (eg, based on the magnitude of the change in the environment brightness level) and the amount of dimming decreases as the environment brightness decreases. In some embodiments, the amount of dimming decreases as the environment brightness increases (eg, based on the magnitude of the change in the environment brightness level) and the amount of dimming increases as the environment brightness decreases. In some embodiments, selecting the second display brightness based on the ambient brightness level includes performing method 1100 and one or more of the methods described with respect to FIGS. 11A and 11B . Selecting the second display brightness based on the ambient brightness level allows the device to decrease the display brightness while still making the contents of the display visible to the user. Reducing the display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the first graphical object is a stationary graphical element (eg, the center of 610 in FIG. 6A; a colon separating the figures of 642 in FIG. 6O), and the first temporal indicator is a moving graphical object (eg, unfixed graphic object; needles at 610 in FIG. 6A; figures at 642 in FIG. 6O). The first amount of the difference in brightness is less than the second amount of the difference in brightness. In some embodiments, graphic elements that are fixed on the display over a period of time are more dimmed than graphic elements that are not fixed on the display over the same period of time. In some embodiments, the electronic device dims watch hands representing time (and not fixed) less than icons (fixed) for activating applications. Dimming fixed graphical elements more than non-fixed graphical elements reduces display brightness while allowing the device to mitigate the negative effects of displaying the same content in the same location on the display, such as display burn-in. . Reducing the display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the first graphical object is a complication (eg, 614 , 616 , 618 , 620 in FIG. 6A ) (eg, a watch face complication; an element of the watch face not associated with providing an indication of time) ), and the first amount of the difference in brightness is less than the second amount of the difference in brightness (eg, the difference between 610 and 616 in FIGS. 6A and 6C ).

Complication refers to any clock face feature other than those used to indicate the hour, minute, or second of the current time associated with the device. In some embodiments, complications provide data obtained from an application. In some embodiments, the complication includes an affordance that, when selected, launches a corresponding application. In some embodiments, the complication is displayed in a fixed, predefined location on the display while the device is in a particular power consumption mode. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the sequence of one or more inputs, the device may change or edit an aspect of the complication. For example, it can be used to change the application data displayed by the application complications. In some embodiments, the complication is a first set of information obtained by the application (eg, application data. For example, if the application is a weather application, the set of information may be a predicted weather condition, current temperature, etc.) . may be edited to indicate). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the sequence of one or more inputs, the device may change or edit the complication to indicate a set of information from a different application (eg, display if the application is a weather application). can be edited from showing the weather to showing data from the calendar application).

In some embodiments, the first dimming ratio between the first brightness level and the third brightness level is different from the second dimming ratio between the second brightness level and the fourth brightness level (eg, in FIGS. 6A and 6C ) difference between 610 and 616). In some embodiments, the first dimming ratio of the third brightness level to the first brightness level is a first value (eg, 1:2(1/2; 50%); 1:3; 1:4), and The second dimming ratio of the 4 brightness levels to the second brightness level is a second value different from the first value (eg, 1:4(1/4; 25%); 1:5; 1:6).

A second user interface (eg, 608 - 3 ) displayed while the electronic device is in the second mode includes a fourth graphical object displayed at a sixth brightness level, the fourth graphical object corresponding to the third graphical object (616 in FIG. 6C) (eg, a non-interactive form of a third graphical object; a visually distinct graphical object representing the same application as the third graphical object; including a subset of data contained in the third graphical object) graphic object (only mm remains rather than mm:ss remains). In some embodiments, the difference in brightness between the first brightness level (eg, used to display the first graphical object) and the fourth brightness level (eg, used to display the second graphical object) is (eg, , less than the difference in brightness between the fifth brightness level (used to display the third graphical object) and the sixth brightness level (eg, used to display the fourth graphical object). In some embodiments, the third graphical object is significantly brighter than the first graphical object, and as a result, the third graphical object dims more than the first graphical object when transitioning from the second mode to displaying the second user interface do. Dimming the brighter graphic elements more than the less bright graphic elements causes the device to reduce the brightness of elements that have a greater impact on battery consumption and negatively impact the display of content in the same location on the display, such as display burn-in. It reduces the display brightness while allowing to mitigate the effects. Reducing the display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, while displaying a first user interface (eg, 608 - 1 , 1008 - 4 ) while the electronic device is in the first mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays a change in an environment brightness level (eg, , decrease) (eg, a change in ambient light without detecting that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode) (eg, using one or more light sensors). In some embodiments, while displaying a first user interface (eg, 608-1, 1008-4) while the electronic device is in the first mode (eg, the electronic device transitions from the first mode to the second mode) In response to detecting a change (eg, decrease) in the environmental brightness level (eg, ambient light) (eg, without detecting that criteria for ), the first user interface changes (eg, decreases) the brightness displayed on the display. In some embodiments, the electronic device determines that the amount of ambient light has been reduced and makes a corresponding change in the brightness at which the first user interface is displayed. In some embodiments, changing (eg, reducing) the brightness at which the first user interface is displayed does not change the displayed content of the first user interface other than the brightness (eg, without changing the size of the visual elements) , does not change the displayed information). In some embodiments, the amount of dimming increases as the environment brightness increases (eg, based on the magnitude of the change in the environment brightness level) and the amount of dimming decreases as the environment brightness decreases. In some embodiments, the amount of dimming decreases as the environment brightness increases (eg, based on the magnitude of the change in the environment brightness level) and the amount of dimming increases as the environment brightness decreases. Changing the brightness of the display based on ambient light allows the contents of the display to be more easily visible in bright ambient light environments, thereby reducing battery usage in reduced ambient light environments, while improving visual feedback is provided to the user. Providing improved visual feedback to the user (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs and reducing user errors when operating/interacting with the device) improves the operability of the device and enhances the user-device interface. make it more efficient Reducing the display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, one or more visual elements that were displayed in the first mode stop being displayed as a result of transitioning to the second mode. Removal of content from displays allows the device to conserve battery power by avoiding that the content energizes previously used pixels (eg, by turning off pixels). Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness. Reducing the display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, transitioning the electronic device from a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) to a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode) may cause one or more complications (eg, 622) from the display. removing (eg, stopping displaying it).

The transition to a third graphic object (eg, 659 ) having a first visual characteristic (eg, an outline having the same shape as the background; unfilled) at a location corresponding to the removed portion of the background (eg, 658 ) geometric shape).

In some embodiments, transitioning the electronic device from a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) to a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode) may result in the displayed information (eg, a time indicator; 610 in FIGS. 6A and 6C ; In some embodiments, the first user interface comprises a display of the first information with a first precision, and the second user interface comprises a display of the first information with a second precision that is less than the first precision. Reducing the precision of the displayed information may allow the device to perform fewer operations to determine the displayed information and/or allow the display to display less information (eg, not displaying seconds when displaying time). ), thereby reducing processing usage and/or reducing display brightness (eg, turning off pixels that would otherwise be used to display additional fine information), providing valuable feedback to the user. Reducing processing usage and reducing display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, reducing the precision of the displayed information includes (eg, continuously displaying minute and/or hour information of the time-based visual element) seconds information (eg, seconds counter, second hand; reducing the precision of the time-based visual element by ceasing to display 610 in FIGS. 6A and 6C ; 620 in FIGS. 6A and 6C .

In some embodiments, transitioning the electronic device from a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) to a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode) may include one or more visual elements (eg, 614 , 616 of FIG. 6C ). , 618, 620, 624, 626, 628) (eg, the second temporal indicator is smaller than the first temporal indicator, and/or the second graphical object is smaller than the first graphical object) ). In some embodiments, the central position of the second temporal indicator is the same as the central position of the first temporal indicator. In some embodiments, the center position of the second graphical object is the same as the center of the first graphical object. Reducing the size of visual elements on a display can be achieved by avoiding energizing pixels previously used by those visual elements (eg, by turning off pixels that are not required to display a smaller form of the visual element); Allows the device to conserve battery power. Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness. Reducing the display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, prior to displaying a first user interface (eg, a watch face of a smart watch), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) detects a user input, wherein displaying the first user interface includes the user input based on (eg, responding to) detecting In some embodiments, the criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode include a first criterion, wherein the user input is of a first type (eg, a tap on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device). or other touch gestures), the first criterion is a first time elapsed (eg, a first time elapsed since detecting user input, a first time elapsed since detecting end user input while in the first mode) 1 hour) is met; In accordance with a determination that the user input is of a second type (eg, a wrist lift gesture detected by the one or more motion sensors), the first criterion is a second time that has elapsed (eg, an elapsed time since detecting the user input). a second time, a second time elapsed since detecting the end user input while in the first mode), the second time being different from the first time. In some embodiments, the electronic device remains in the first mode for different times based on the time of the user input that caused the electronic device to enter the first mode (eg, by transitioning to the second mode after various times) do. In some examples, the electronic device is configured for a longer duration when a touch gesture on the touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device causes the electronic device to transition to the first mode, because the touch gesture is likely to be an intentional input. When maintained in the first mode, the electronic device is more likely to be an intentional input when a motion-based gesture (eg, raising a wrist) causes the electronic device to transition to the first mode, because the motion-based gesture is less likely to be an intentional input. It remains in the first mode for a short duration.

In some embodiments, the watch face includes an animated aspect that is abbreviated when in the second mode. Selecting a different point in time at which the animation will end allows the display to show different content (different parts of the animation) during different playbacks of the animation, whereby the same content (eg the end frame of the animation) is displayed for extended periods of time. Avoid being displayed on the display while (eg, after the animation has stopped), thereby reducing the likelihood of negative effects, such as display burn-in, of displaying the same content in the same location on the display.

In some embodiments, while in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) receives a second user input (eg, 632-2, 632-6, 632-7, 632-8) (eg, of the electronic device) detect touch gesture input on the touch-sensitive surface, rotation of a rotatable input mechanism of the electronic device (eg, its initiation).

In some embodiments, the transition from the second mode to the first mode occurs in response to an initial portion of an input, wherein the first mode is initially displayed in a dimmed state, wherein the dimmed state is progressive as the input continues. (e.g., the magnitude of the rotation of the rotatable input element determines the amount of change in the brightness of the user interface, and the direction of rotation of the rotatable input mechanism determines whether the brightness of the user interface is increased or decreased) .

The color changes gradually (eg, smoothly or incrementally) with an angle from the first color to the second color. The term “color” refers to different hues, tones, shades, tints, including but not limited to black, white, and gray. The first gradient transitions from the first color to the second color and represents a unit of measure of time (eg, seconds, minutes, hours). A second time indicator (eg, 650 in FIG. 6T ) includes a second gradient transitioning from the third color to the second color and representing a unit of measure of time, wherein the third color is different from the first color. different In some embodiments, the first gradient transitions from a first non-black color to a second non-black color, and the second gradient transitions from a third non-black color (eg, equal to the first non-black color) to a black color. do.

In some embodiments, the display generating component is integrated with a computer system. In some embodiments, the display generating component is separate from the computer system.

As described below, the method 900 provides an intuitive way to manage display usage. The method reduces power usage and the possibility of screen burn-in. The method also reduces the cognitive burden on the user for managing display usage, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling the device to automatically manage display usage faster and more efficiently saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

While the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays, on a display (eg, 602 ), a first time indicator 904 . and a first user interface (eg, a watch face of a smart watch) including a first graphical object 906 is displayed ( 902 ).

The first time indicator 904 represents the current time (eg, 842 in FIG. 8A ) (eg, clock hands (hour, minute, second hands); digital clock numbers (hour, minute, second numbers)), and Displayed in 1 size. A first graphical object 906 (eg, 816 , 818 , 820 , 828 , 846 , 844 in FIG. 8A ) (eg, affordance; complication) is displayed at a second size.

The electronic device (eg, 600 ) detects ( 908 ) that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. In response to detecting that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) removes the electronic device from the first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode). Transition to mode 2 (eg, a lower power consumption mode) (910).

A second graphical object 916 (eg, 816 , 818 , 820 , 828 , 846 , 844 in FIG. 8D ) corresponds to the first graphical object (eg, a non-interactive form of the first graphical object; a first graphic) A visually distinct graphical object representing the same application as the object; a graphical object containing a subset of the data contained in the first graphical object (only mm remains rather than mm:ss remains). The second graphical object is displayed at a fourth size that is smaller than the second size at which the first graphical object was previously displayed. As discussed in more detail above, the first mode and the second mode are different modes in which the electronic device may operate. Reducing the size of visual elements on a display can be achieved by avoiding energizing pixels previously used by those visual elements (eg, by turning off pixels that are not required to display a smaller form of the visual element); Allows the device to conserve battery power. Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

A non-interactive form of a third graphical object; a visually distinct graphical object representing the same application as the third graphical object; a graphical object containing a subset of the data contained in the third graphical object (mm:ss remains rather than mm)). The fourth graphic object is displayed at a sixth size smaller than the fifth size at which the third graphic object was previously displayed. Reducing the size of visual elements on a display can be achieved by avoiding energizing pixels previously used by those visual elements (eg, by turning off pixels that are not required to display a smaller form of the visual element); Allows the device to conserve battery power. Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, a second graphical object (eg, 820 in FIG. 8D ) and a fourth graphical object (eg, 828 in FIG. 8D ) are spaced apart a fourth distance in the second user interface. In some embodiments, the fourth distance is greater than the third distance.

In some embodiments, the fourth size is smaller than the second size by a first percentage (eg, the relative size of 846 in FIGS. 8A and 8D ), and the sixth size is different from the first percentage than the fifth size smaller by a second percentage (eg, the relative size of 828 in FIGS. 8A and 8D ). In some embodiments, the amount of scaling is different for different factors. For example, a first graphical object may decrease in size by 10% when transitioning to a second graphical object, while a third graphical object increases in size by 50% (or 5%) when transitioning to a fourth graphical object can be reduced by Using different amounts of scaling for different visual elements causes the device to scale the less relevant visual elements (eg, less used, less important elements) to more relevant visual elements (eg, more frequently used elements). By reducing to a greater extent than the size of the more important factors), more power can be saved. As a result, the device continues to provide feedback to the user while reducing the size of the visual elements, which reduces display brightness and reduces power usage.

For example, a first temporal representation may decrease in size by 20% when transitioning to a second temporal representation, while a first graphical object increases in size when transitioning to a second graphical object (eg, 50%) can decrease Using different amounts of scaling for different visual elements causes the device to cause the size of less relevant visual elements (eg, watch complications) to be larger than the size of more relevant visual elements (eg, time indicator). By reducing to a large extent, it is possible to save more power. As a result, the device continues to provide feedback (eg, of time and complications) to the user while reducing the size of the visual elements, which reduces display brightness and reduces power usage.

In some embodiments, the first time (eg, transitioning from the second mode to the first mode) is less than the third time (transitioning from the first mode to the second mode). In some embodiments, the second time period is less than the fourth time period.

In some embodiments, transitioning from a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode) to a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) may result in a user input (eg, 832-1) of the first type (eg, a tap or other touch gesture on the touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device), the first time being a first predetermined period of time; and in accordance with a determination that the user input is of a second type that is different from the first type (eg, a wrist lift gesture detected by the one or more motion sensors), the first time period is of a second type different from the first predetermined period of time. 2 Including that it is a predetermined period. In some embodiments, upon determining that the user input is of a first type (eg, a tap or other touch gesture on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device), the second time is a first predetermined period of time, the user input In accordance with a determination that this is of the second type (eg, a wrist lift gesture detected by the one or more motion sensors), the second time period is a second predetermined period of time. In some embodiments, the transition from the second mode to the first mode occurs at different rates based on the type of input causing the transition.

In some embodiments, transitioning from the second mode to the first mode is an animation that visually highlights one or more visual differences between the second user interface displayed in the second mode and the first user interface displayed in the first mode. (eg, 808-5).

In some embodiments, visually highlighting one or more visual differences between the second mode and the first mode may include increasing the display size of the second time indicator at the third size prior to displaying the first time indicator at the first size. reducing to a small size (eg, 842 in FIGS. 8D-8F ); and reducing the display size of the second graphical object to a size smaller than the fourth size before displaying the first graphical object at the second size (eg, 820 in FIGS. 8D-8F ). In some embodiments, the technique reduces graphical elements before enlarging them to emphasize a visual difference (eg, size) between elements in the two states.

In some embodiments, while the electronic device is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) and displaying a first user interface (eg, a watch face of a smart watch), a first time indicator (eg, analog Clock hands (hour hand, minute hand, second hand); digital clock number (hour, minute, second numbers)) determine a first brightness level (eg, average pixel luminance (APL) of an indicator on the display, average lumen output, total lumen output, average illuminance, or total illuminance; brightness expressed in nits, lux, or lumens) and displayed as a first graphical object (eg, affordance; affordance representing a first application; interactive graphical object; computer associated with a watch face) Affordance displayed as an application; graphic elements that are not updated (rotation point of the clock hand; colon separating digital clock figures) are at a second brightness level (e.g., a brightness level equal to the first brightness level; different from the first brightness level) different brightness levels). Accordingly, the first temporal indicator is displayed at a first brightness level, and the first graphical object is displayed at a second brightness level. In some embodiments, while the electronic device is in the second mode and displaying the second user interface, the second temporal indicator is displayed at a third brightness level that is lower than the first brightness level at which the first temporal indicator was previously displayed; , a second graphical object corresponding to the first graphical object (eg, a non-interactive form of the first graphical object; a visually distinct graphical object representing the same application as the first graphical object; data contained in the first graphical object) A graphical object comprising a subset of (mm: only mm remains rather than mm:ss remains) is displayed at a fourth brightness level lower than the second brightness level at which the first graphical object was previously displayed.

In some embodiments, the technique reduces their brightness before brightening graphic elements to emphasize a visual difference (eg, brightness) between the elements in the two states.

In some embodiments, the third size and the fourth size are determined by the device (eg, even if the sizes and/or positions of corresponding elements of the user interface do not change when the device enters the first mode in different cases). one or more sizing criteria (eg, FIG. 8I ) that cause the sizes (and optionally positions) of elements of the user interface to change (eg, 808-9 in FIG. 8I ) upon entering the second mode in different cases 844 in 8i). In some embodiments, the graphical elements are reduced in size to various sizes, such that each time the second user interface is displayed in the second mode, the reduced sizes are not the same. In some embodiments, the sizing criteria are based on a day of the week, hours of the time, month of the year, and/or year. . Selecting different sizes at which the content will be displayed allows the display to show the content and avoid having the content displayed on the display at the same size for extended periods of time (eg, after the animation has stopped) , thereby reducing the likelihood of negative effects, such as display burn-in, of displaying the same content in the same location/size on the display.

In some embodiments, the sizing criteria (eg, 844 in FIG. 8I ) are based on one or more of the current time of day, the current day of the week, the current date of the month, the current month of the year, and the current year. (eg, 808-9 in FIG. 8I). In some embodiments, the one or more sizing criteria cause the sizes (and optionally positions) of elements of the user interface to change between various states (eg, 90% for a first time, 91 for a second time). %, scaled by 92% for 3rd hour, 93% for 4th hour; 90% for 1st day of week, 91% for 2nd day of week, 92% for 3rd day of week, 92% for 3rd day of week scaled by 93% over 4 days). Selecting different sizes at which content will be displayed based on time, day, date, month, and/or year allows the display to show the content and for extended periods of time (eg, after the animation has stopped). It makes it possible to avoid having to be displayed on the display at the same size, thereby reducing the possibility of negative effects, such as display burn-in, of displaying the same content at the same location on the display/at the same size on the display.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays a second temporal indicator that is different from the size at which the second temporal indicator was last displayed as part of the second user interface while the electronic device was in the second mode. Select a third size for (eg, 842 in FIG. 8I ). In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays a second graphical object ( For example, select the fourth size for 820 in FIG. 8I . In some embodiments, whenever the electronic device transitions from the first mode to the second mode, the electronic device displays the graphical elements at a different size than the last time the graphical element was displayed in the second mode. Selecting different sizes at which the content will be displayed allows the display to show the content and avoid having the content displayed on the display at the same size for extended periods of time (eg, after the animation has stopped) , thereby reducing the likelihood of negative effects, such as display burn-in, of displaying the same content in the same location/size on the display.

In some embodiments, a first display brightness of a display (eg, 602 displaying 808-1) while displaying a second user interface while the electronic device is in a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode) (eg, average pixel luminance (APL)) is a display (eg, an average pixel luminance (APL)) while displaying a first user interface (eg, a watch face of a smart watch) while the electronic device is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode). , less than the second display brightness (eg, APL) of 602 displaying 808-4. Accordingly, the overall brightness of the display is reduced when displaying the second user interface while the electronic device is in the second mode as compared to displaying the first user interface while the electronic device is in the first mode. Reducing the overall brightness of the display reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life, while still allowing the user to access the device.

Method 1100 is performed at a device (eg, 100, 300, 500, 600, smart watch, smart phone, tablet computer) having a display and one or more sensors (eg, ambient light sensor). Some operations of the method 1100 are selectively combined, the orders of some operations are selectively changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 100 , 300 , 500 , 600 ) is a computer system. The computer system, optionally, is in communication (eg, wired communication, wireless communication) with the display generating component and one or more input devices. The display generating component is configured to provide a visual output, such as a display via a CRT display, a display via an LED display, or a display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generating component is integrated with a computer system. In some embodiments, the display generating component is separate from the computer system. One or more input devices, such as a touch-sensitive surface that receives user input, are configured to receive input. In some embodiments, one or more input devices are integrated with a computer system. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are separate from the computer system. Accordingly, the computer system transmits, via a wired or wireless connection, data (eg, image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generating component to visually create content (eg, using a display device). and may receive input from one or more input devices over a wired or wireless connection.

As described below, the method 1100 provides an intuitive way to manage display usage. The method reduces power usage and the possibility of screen burn-in. The method also reduces the cognitive burden on the user for managing display usage, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling the device to automatically manage display usage faster and more efficiently saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

While the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode), the electronic device (eg, 600 ), on a display (eg, 602 ), displays a first user interface (eg, 1008 ) -1, 1008-7) (eg, watch face of smart watch; higher power user interface) to first display brightness level (eg, average pixel luminance (APL) of display, average lumen output, total lumen output, average Display 1102 in illuminance, or total illuminance; brightness expressed in nits, lux, or lumens.

While the electronic device is in the second mode ( 1114 ), in accordance with a determination that data from the one or more sensors corresponds to a first environmental brightness level, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays a second user interface (eg, 1008- 3; 1008-8) (eg, interface of lower power consumption to high ambient light conditions) at a second display brightness level less than the first display brightness level (eg, average pixel of inactive interface) 1116 (eg, inactive interface) Luminance (APL) is lower than the APL of the active interface). The second user interface may include a second temporal indicator 1118 (eg, a second temporal indicator 1118 ) that differs from the first temporal indicator in one or more visual characteristics (eg, location, size, color, hue, saturation, opacity, shape) other than brightness. , 1010 in FIG. 10c); and a second graphical object 1120 corresponding to the first graphical object (eg, one or more visual properties (position, size, color, hue, saturation, opacity, shape) other than brightness differ from the first graphical object) (eg, 1020 in FIG. 10C ).

While the electronic device is in the second mode ( 1114 ), in accordance with a determination that the data from the one or more sensors corresponds to a second ambient brightness level that is lower than the first ambient brightness level, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) activates a third Display the user interface (eg, 1008-6) (eg, an interface of lower power consumption to low ambient light conditions) at a third display brightness level that is lower than the second display brightness level (eg, low ambient light) ( 1122 ) The average pixel luminance (APL) of the interface of lower power consumption to light conditions is less than the APL of the interface of lower power consumption to high ambient light conditions). The third user interface includes content (eg, 1008-6) different from the second user interface (eg, the third user interface includes a third time indicator different from the second time indicator (eg, the third user interface) 3 the temporal indicator differs from the second temporal indicator in one or more visual characteristics (size, color, hue, saturation, opacity, shape); the second user interface is one or more graphics not included within the third user interface. includes objects (eg, the second user interface includes a second indicator (analog or digital) and the third user interface does not include a seconds indicator); the third user interface includes a graphical object included within the second interface. (eg, the second user interface includes time ticks and a seconds scale, and the third user interface includes time ticks but no seconds scale); the second user interface includes a third user interface contains a greater amount of graphical objects (eg, the second user interface includes 12 temporal markers (eg, 1 to 12), and the third user interface includes 4 temporal markers (eg, 12, 3, 6, 9)); the second user interface includes one or more affordances (complications), and the third user interface does not include at least one of the one or more affordances).

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) moves the electronic device from the first mode to the second mode (eg, before detecting that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode). It is detected that the criteria for transition to . In response to detecting that the electronic device has not met the criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, in response to determining that the second data from the one or more sensors corresponds to a third environmental brightness level, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) performs a first user interface (eg, 1008-5 ) without transitioning the electronic device from a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) to a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode). ) at a fourth display brightness level that is different from (eg, less than) the first display brightness level (eg, keeps the electronic device in the first mode and continues to display the same user interface at a different brightness level) ). In some embodiments, upon determining that the data from the one or more sensors corresponds to an environment brightness level different than the third brightness level, the electronic device continues to display the first user interface at the first display brightness level; Do not transition the electronic device from a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) to a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode) (eg, keep the electronic device in the first mode and use the same user interface to the same display continuously at the brightness level). Changing the brightness of the display based on environment brightness allows the contents of the display to be more easily visible in bright ambient light, thereby providing improved visual feedback to the user while reducing battery usage in reduced ambient light environments. provide to Providing improved visual feedback to the user (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs and reducing user errors when operating/interacting with the device) improves the operability of the device and enhances the user-device interface. make it more efficient Reducing the display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, transitioning the electronic device from a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) to a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode) includes one or more of the one or more having a first color (eg, white). changing the color of the user interface elements (eg, 1010, 1014, 1016, 1018, 1020, 1024, 1026, 1028) to a color other than the first color (eg, a darker color). In some embodiments, the electronic device sets the color of one or more white user interface elements of the first user interface to the first color when displaying the second user interface and the color of the one or more white user interface elements when displaying the third user interface (first color). different from) to a second color. Changing elements of a given color (eg, white, lighter color) to a different color causes the device to reduce the brightness of elements that have a greater impact on battery consumption and reduce the brightness of the elements on the display, such as display burn-in. While allowing to mitigate the negative effects of displaying bright content in a location, it reduces display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, a first graphical object (eg, 1014 , 1018 , 1020 , 1026 in FIG. 10A ) is a complication corresponding to each application (eg, a calendar complication; data received from an application such as a calendar application) is a complication that displays ), and includes a display of data received from each application. In some embodiments, the second graphical object (eg, 1014 , 1018 , 1020 , 1026 in FIG. 10C ) corresponds to a respective application and does not include a display of data from the respective application. In some embodiments, the complication displays data received from the respective application while in the first mode, but does not receive and/or display data from the respective application while in the second mode, whereby the electronic Reduce the power consumption of the device. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays (while in the second mode) a tick or dash mark instead of data to indicate that data is not being displayed. Reducing the information displayed is achieved by avoiding content energizing pixels previously used (eg, by turning off pixels) and by reducing the requirement for the device to process the data to determine information for display. , allowing the device to conserve battery power. Reducing processing needs reduces power and improves battery life. Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness, thereby reducing power usage of the device and improving battery life.

In some embodiments, displaying the second user interface (eg, 1008-3, 1008-8) (eg, an interface of lower power consumption to high ambient light conditions) at the second display brightness level comprises the display area applying a mask (eg, black mask, gray mask; overlay) to In some embodiments, the electronic device applies a mask to the display to reduce the brightness level of the display. In some embodiments, displaying the third user interface (eg, the interface of lower power consumption to low ambient light conditions) at the third display brightness level may result in a black (or gray, or other color) in the display area. Including applying a mask. Applying a mask, such as a black or gray mask, to a display area reduces the display brightness in which that area is displayed. Reducing the display brightness reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, displaying the second user interface (eg, 1008-3, 1008-8) (eg, an interface of lower power consumption to high ambient light conditions) at the second display brightness level (eg, , turning off one or more pixels (eg, 1014 , 1018 , 1020 , 1026 in FIG. 10A ) that were turned on in the first mode when displaying the first user interface. In some embodiments, displaying the third user interface (eg, an interface of lower power consumption to low ambient light conditions) at the third display brightness level (eg, the first user interface when displaying the first user interface) It involves turning off one or more pixels that were on in the mode. Turning off one or more pixels allows the device to conserve battery power by avoiding content energizing previously used pixels. Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the first graphical object (eg, 1014 , 1016 , 1018 , 1020 , 1024 , 1026 , 1028 in FIG. 10A ) corresponds to a respective application. In some embodiments, the second graphical object (eg, 1014 , 1016 , 1018 , 1020 , 1024 , 1026 , 1028 in FIG. 10C ) corresponds to a respective application. In some embodiments, the third user interface (eg, 1008-6, 1008-9) does not include a graphical object corresponding to the respective application. In some embodiments, the first and second graphical objects are complications, and the third user interface does not include a complication corresponding to the respective application. Thus, in some embodiments, when the electronic device transitions from the first mode to the second mode and updates the displayed user interface, the electronic device displays the third user interface that was previously displayed in the first mode. Stop displaying complications in the second mode. Removal of content from displays allows the device to conserve battery power by avoiding energizing pixels (eg, by turning off pixels) that content would otherwise use. Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the first time indicator (eg, 1010 in FIG. 10A ) includes one or more clock hands indicating time, displayed at a first brightness level. In some embodiments, the second time indicator (eg, 1010 in FIG. 10C ) includes one or more clock hands indicating time, displayed at a second brightness level that is less than the first brightness level. In some embodiments, the third time indicator includes one or more clock hands indicating time, displayed at a third brightness level that is less than the second brightness level. Reducing the brightness of the displayed hands on the display reduces the display brightness, which reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the first time indicator (eg, 1010 in FIG. 10A ) includes one or more clock hands indicating time, displayed at a first thickness level. In some embodiments, the second time indicator (eg, the inner portions of the hands of 1010 in FIG. 10C are more scaled) displays one or more clock hands representing time, displayed at a second thickness level that is less than the first thickness level. include In some embodiments, the third time indicator includes one or more hands indicating time, displayed at a third thickness level that is less than the second thickness level. Reducing the thickness of visual elements on a display can be achieved by avoiding energizing pixels previously used by those visual elements (eg, by turning off pixels that are not required to display a less thick form of the visual element); Allows the device to conserve battery power. Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the first user interface includes a first set of tick marks (eg, indicating positions corresponding to respective times) displayed at a fourth thickness. In some embodiments, the second user interface (eg, 1008-3) is displayed (eg, at respective times) with a fifth thickness that is less than the fourth thickness (eg, without displaying the first set of tick marks). and a second set of tick marks (eg, 1012 in FIG. 10C ) indicating corresponding positions. In some embodiments, the third user interface includes a third set of tick marks having a sixth thickness that is less than the fifth thickness (eg, without displaying the first or second tick marks). Reducing the thickness of visual elements on a display can be achieved by avoiding energizing pixels previously used by those visual elements (eg, by turning off pixels that are not required to display a less thick form of the visual element); Allows the device to conserve battery power. Avoiding energizing the pixels of the display reduces display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, by a change in brightness (eg, a shade between 1008-1 and 1008-3 of elements 1010, 1016) to transition from the display of the first temporal indicator to the display of the second temporal indicator. illustrated) the rate of change is faster than the rate of change of brightness for transitioning from the display of the first graphic object to the second graphic object.

In some embodiments, the second user interface (eg, 1008-3, 1008-7) includes a first complication corresponding to the first application, and the third user interface (eg, 1008-6, 1008-9) ) includes a second complication corresponding to the first application, and a third time indicator. In some embodiments, the difference in brightness between the second temporal indicator and the first complication is less than the difference in brightness between the third temporal indicator and the second complication.

In some embodiments, the first user interface (eg, 1008 - 1 ) includes a first graphical element (eg, 1028 in FIG. 10A ) of a second color. In some embodiments, the second user interface (eg, 1008 - 3 ) includes a second graphical element (eg, 1028 in FIG. 10C ) corresponding to the first graphical element, the second graphical element having a second color and has a different third color (eg, black, gray). Changing elements of a given color (eg, white, lighter color) to a different color causes the device to reduce the brightness of elements that have a greater impact on battery consumption and reduce the brightness of the elements on the display, such as display burn-in. While allowing to mitigate the negative effects of displaying bright content in a location, it reduces display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the background of the first user interface (eg, 1008-1) has a third color that is different from the color of the first temporal indicator. In some embodiments, the second time indicator is displayed in a third color within the second user interface (eg, 1008-3).

In some embodiments, the first user interface (eg, 1008 - 1 ) includes a first level of color saturation. In some embodiments, the second user interface (eg, 1008-3) includes a second level of color saturation that is different from (eg, less than or greater than) the first level of color saturation. In some embodiments, the technique reduces the color saturation of graphic elements when transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. In some embodiments, the technique reduces color saturation to zero, thereby displaying user interfaces in a solid color. In some embodiments, the technique reduces the color saturation to zero for certain colors, while not reducing the color saturation to zero for other colors (but optionally still reducing it). Reducing the saturation of colors (or of certain colors or elements) mitigates the negative effects of displaying content in the same location on the display, such as display burn-in, while at the same time reducing display brightness, which reduces the power usage of the device. reduce and improve battery life.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12E , analog indication 1210 of time no longer includes a second hand, compass affordance 1218 no longer includes direction indicators, and timer affordance 1220 no longer includes No longer includes an indication of seconds, cellular affordance 1278 no longer includes circular indicators to indicate signal strength, and noise affordance 1280 no longer includes indications of one or more noise levels. In some embodiments, while device 600 is operating in a low power display mode, music affordance 1282 does not include an indication of a playback position.

In some embodiments, music affordance 1282 includes a track description (eg, song title) in place of or in addition to a circular progress indicator. While operating in standard display and low-power display modes, device 600 is configured (eg, to indicate a media file currently playing or being accessed) in a manner responsive to updates to be performed on the progress indicator as described herein. to bet) update the track description. For example, while in the standard display mode, device 600 may display every second (eg, 10:09:02, 10:10:01, and 10:10:02 as shown in FIGS. 12A-12D ). e) Update the track description. In contrast, while in the low power display mode, device 600 updates the track description every minute (eg, at 10:10:01 as shown in FIGS. 12E-12H ).

12F , at the time of 10:09:02, device 600 displays clock face user interface 1208 - 6 . 12F, clock face user interface 1208-6 is identical to clock face user interface 1208-5 despite the passage of time from 10:09:01 to 10:09:02. That is, while operating in the low power display mode, the device 600 refreshes the displayed content every minute compared to the device 600 which is updated every second while in a standard display as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B . Update (eg, device 600 updates the displayed data less frequently (eg, at a reduced rate; at increased time intervals)).

12I is a chart illustrating various affordances that may be included on a watch face user interface, in accordance with some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 12I , the appearance of each affordance may be different based on the device mode (eg, standard display mode or low power display mode) and application state (eg, paused or not paused). For example, elements of affordance corresponding to data that is updated frequently (eg, every second) while device 600 is operating in a standard display mode are not included in corresponding low-power mode representations of the same affordance.

13 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for managing display usage using an electronic device, in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1300 is performed at a device having a display (eg, 100, 300, 500, 600, smart watch, smart phone, tablet computer). Some operations of the method 1300 are selectively combined, the orders of some operations are selectively changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 100 , 300 , 500 , 600 ) is a computer system. The computer system, optionally, is in communication (eg, wired communication, wireless communication) with the display generating component and one or more input devices. The display generating component is configured to provide a visual output, such as a display via a CRT display, a display via an LED display, or a display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generating component is integrated with a computer system. In some embodiments, the display generating component is separate from the computer system.

As described below, the method 1300 provides an intuitive way to manage display usage. The method reduces power usage and the possibility of screen burn-in. The method also reduces the cognitive burden on the user for managing display usage, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling the device to automatically manage display usage faster and more efficiently saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

The electronic device (eg, device 600 ) may have a user interface (eg, a user interface (eg, device 600 ) that includes a plurality of user interface elements that include a graphical representation of a first type of information (eg, 1220 in FIG. 12A ) associated with a first application). 1208-1) is displayed (1302).

While the electronic device is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) 1304 , the electronic device (eg, device 600 ) receives a first update interval (eg, a transition from 1208-1 to 1208-2). update ( 1306 ) the appearance of the graphical representation of information of the first type over time.

while the electronic device is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) ( 1304 ) and after updating the appearance of the graphical representation of the first type of information over time one or more times at a first update interval, The electronic device (eg, device 600 ) detects ( 1308 ) that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode.

In response to detecting that the electronic device has met the criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, the electronic device (eg, device 600 ) places the electronic device in the first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode). ) to the second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode) ( 1310 ). As discussed in more detail above, the first mode and the second mode are different modes in which the electronic device may operate.

While the electronic device is in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, device 600 ), over time, in a second update interval (eg, transition from 1208-5 to 1208-7) different from the first update interval. Update ( 1312 ) the appearance of the graphical representation of the first type of information (eg, 1220 in FIG. 12E ). Changing the interval at which the appearance of graphical elements is displayed reduces the processing time (eg, calculations) for the device to the graphics processor(s) and general-purpose processor(s) because fewer user interfaces need to be created. make it possible The reduction in processing time allows the processors to operate in a very low power state for longer periods of time (eg, when user interfaces are not changed), so that activity in the device does not need to be monitored, which Reduces power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the plurality of user interface elements includes a graphical representation (eg, 1282 in FIG. 12A ) of a second type of information associated with the second application (eg, data received from the application, optionally , displayed as part of the graphical representation). While the electronic device is in the first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode), the electronic device (eg, device 600 ) changes over time with a third update interval (eg, equal to or different from the first update interval). update the appearance of the graphical representation of the second type of information according to (eg, transition from 1208-1 to 1208-2). In some embodiments, detecting that the electronic device has met the criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode is the appearance of the graphical representation of the second type of information over time one or more times at the third update interval. Occurs after updating While the electronic device is in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) may over time at a fourth update interval different from the third update interval (eg, the same as or different from the second update interval) of the second type of Update the appearance of the graphical representation of information (eg, 1282 in FIG. 12E ) (eg, transition from 1208-5 to 1208-7). Changing the interval at which the appearance of graphical elements is displayed causes the device to take processing time (eg, calculations) for the graphics processor(s) and general-purpose processor(s) as fewer user interfaces need to be created and displayed. make it possible to reduce The reduction in processing time allows the processors to operate in a very low power state for longer periods of time (eg, when user interfaces are not changed), so that activity in the device does not need to be monitored, which Reduces power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, displaying a user interface comprising a plurality of user interface elements includes, as part of the user interface and concurrently with the graphical representation of the first type of information, a time indicator (eg, 1210 ) (eg, current watch hands indicating time, digital readings indicating the current time, analog clock hands (hour, minute, second hands); digital clock numbers (hour, minute, second numbers)).

In some embodiments, while the electronic device is operating in the first mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays a time indicator (eg, 1210 in FIGS. 12A and 12B ) over time at a fifth update interval. update While the electronic device is operating in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays a time indicator over time at a sixth update interval different from the fifth update interval (eg, slower than the third update interval) For example, 1210 in FIGS. 12E-12G is updated. In some embodiments, the time indicator is updated every second while in the first mode and every minute while in the second mode. Changing the interval at which the appearance of graphical elements is displayed causes the device to take processing time (eg, calculations) for the graphics processor(s) and general-purpose processor(s) as fewer user interfaces need to be created and displayed. make it possible to reduce The reduction in processing time allows the processors to operate in a very low power state for longer periods of time (eg, when user interfaces are not changed), so that activity in the device does not need to be monitored, which Reduces power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the graphical representation of the first type of information displayed in the first mode (eg, 1220 and 1282 in FIGS. 12A-12D ) is the graphical representation of the first type of information displayed in the second mode ( For example, it has one or more visual characteristics that are different from 1220 and 1282 in FIGS. 12E-12H . In some embodiments, the graphical representation is displayed at a higher brightness level in the first mode than in the second mode. In some embodiments, the graphical representation is displayed at a larger size in the first mode than in the second mode. In some embodiments, the graphical representation is displayed in color in the first mode and solid in the second mode, or more generally, has different levels of color saturation.

In some embodiments, the first mode (eg, operation of device 600 of FIGS. 12A-12D ) is a higher power consumption mode (eg, higher power consumption via the display of the electronic device and/or one or more processors). )to be. In some embodiments, the second mode (eg, operation of device 600 of FIGS. 12E-12H ) is a lower power consumption mode. In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) consumes more power in a higher power consumption mode than in a lower power consumption mode.

In some embodiments, the first update interval is based on an activity level of the first application. In some embodiments, the second update interval is not based on an activity level of the first application. In some embodiments, both the first update interval and the second update interval are based on an activity level of the first application. Changing the interval at which the appearance of graphical elements is displayed based on the activity level of the corresponding applications may, for example, unnecessarily check information from an application that is not available or update the display when new information is not available. By avoiding doing so, it enables the device to conserve battery power, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life. As a result, more active applications cause corresponding graphical elements to be updated more frequently, while less active applications cause corresponding graphical elements to be updated less frequently.

In some embodiments, updating the appearance of the graphical representation of the first type of information includes displaying an animation (eg, displaying 1208-1 through 1208-4). In some embodiments, updating the appearance of the first type of information in the first mode includes displaying an animation, and updating the appearance of the first type of information in the second mode includes displaying the animation I never do that.

In some embodiments, a first display brightness (eg, averaged) of a display (eg, display 602 in FIGS. 12A-12D ) while the electronic device is in a first mode (eg, higher power consumption mode). Pixel luminance (APL) is the second display brightness (eg, the display 602 in FIGS. 12E-12H ) while the electronic device is in the second mode (eg, lower power consumption mode). higher than APL). Accordingly, the overall brightness of the display is reduced when the electronic device transitions from the first mode to the second mode. Reducing the brightness of the display reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, while the electronic device is in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays an indication that the update interval of the graphical representation of the first type of information has changed (eg, 1210 in FIGS. 12E-12H ). (eg, concurrently with the graphical representation of the first type of information). In some embodiments, the second update interval is longer than the first update interval, and the electronic device displays an indication that the rate of updates of the first type of information has been reduced. Displaying the indication that the update interval has changed provides the user with feedback regarding the status of the device and the frequency of update of the first type of information. Providing the user with improved visual feedback improves the operability of the device and reduces user errors (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device) and user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the electronic device has met the criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) animation frames for the graphical representation of the first type of information to be displayed while the electronic device is in the second mode (eg, for use in updating the appearance of the graphical representation of the first type of information) before transfer). In some embodiments, frames for graphical representations (eg, upcoming calendar event, song progression) that can be accurately predicted for display in the second mode are calculated in the first mode. Calculating animation frames for display in the second mode (eg, before entering the second mode) enables the device to avoid calculating animation frames while in the second mode, thereby processing their Allows components to be put to sleep, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life. Calculating animation frames for display in the second mode (eg, prior to entering the second mode) enables the device to display animation frames while in a low power consumption mode, thereby providing visual feedback to the user. to provide. Providing the user with improved visual feedback improves the operability of the device and reduces user errors (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device) and user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the plurality of user interface elements includes a graphical representation of a third type of information associated with the third application (eg, data received from the application is, optionally, displayed as part of the graphical representation) . In some embodiments, while the electronic device is operating in the first mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) updates the appearance of the graphical representation of the third type of information over time at a seventh update interval. While the electronic device is operating in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) withholds (eg, maintains) updating the appearance of the graphical representation of the third type of information.

It is noted that the details of the processes described above with respect to method 1300 (eg, FIG. 13 ) are also applicable in a similar manner to the methods described above/below. For example, methods 700 , 900 , 1100 , 1500 , 1700 , 1900 optionally include one or more of the features of various methods described above with reference to method 1300 . For example, the first mode is the same mode throughout these methods, and the second mode is the same mode throughout these methods. For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated below.

14A-14E illustrate example devices and user interfaces for managing display usage, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces of these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes of FIG. 15 .

In particular, FIGS. 14A-14E change one or more aspects (eg, visual characteristics) of a displayed user interface upon determining that the device has met mode transition criteria, such as the mode transition criteria described in greater detail above. By doing so, it illustrates techniques for managing display usage.

14A illustrates the same electronic device 600 at four different times as indicated by time 1410 . Time 1410 is not part of the user interface of device 600 . Time 1410 is provided for a better understanding of the concepts being described.

In FIG. 14A , at time 1410a , device 600 displays the user interface 1402 of the timer application while device 600 is in the standard display mode. User interface 1402 includes a title 1402a (“Timer”) of the timer application, current time 1402b, countdown timer 1402c, cancel affordance 1402d, and pause affordance 1402e. Countdown timer 1402c indicates that there are 2 minutes and 58 seconds remaining on the timer, at which point device 600 will provide an alert (visual, audio, and/or tactile) that the timer has expired. The title 1402a is displayed in a color (eg, orange) that is different from the color (eg, white) of the current time 1402b (eg, white) and the color (eg, white) of the countdown timer 1402c. Cancellation affordance 1402d causes the countdown of countdown timer 1402c to be canceled when activated (eg, via a tap input on cancellation affordance 1402d). Pause affordance 1402e causes the countdown of countdown timer 1402c to pause when activated (eg, via a tap input on pause affordance 1402e). The background of the user interface 1402 is black.

14A, at time 1410b, 15 seconds have elapsed since time 1410a. Countdown timer 1402c reflects this elapsed time, indicating that there are now 2 minutes and 43 seconds remaining on the timer. Device 600 has determined that the device has met the mode transition criteria (eg, detecting a wrist down gesture using, for example, motion sensors; no input of certain types for 15 seconds). In response to determining that device 600 met the mode transition criteria, device 600 transitioned to a low power display mode, replacing user interface 1402 with user interface 1404 . The user interface 1404 is a lower power consumption interface of the timer application, and is displayed at least in part because the timer application has a lower power consumption interface. User interface 1404 does not include the current time (eg, 1402b), nor does it include affordances (eg, 1402d, 1402e) to cancel or pause the countdown of countdown timer 1402c. Title 1402a shows that the color is changed to gray (eg, from orange), thereby reducing the amount of power consumed by the display (eg, there is less power to display gray pixels than to display orange pixels). less costly). The countdown timer 1402c also changed its color from white to gray, thereby also reducing the amount of power consumed by the display. In this example, the size and location of countdown timer 1402c has not changed between user interface 1402 and user interface 1404 . The background of the user interface 1404 is black. In the examples of FIG. 14A , user interface 1404 is a monochromatic user interface. Monochrome user interfaces vary in color from black to gray (and not white). User interface 1404 has a lower brightness level than user interface 1402 . In some examples, user interface 1404 includes a time indicator as described below with respect to FIGS. 18G and 18H . In some examples, rather than a clock face user interface (such as 1406, which is not specific to the timer application and does not accommodate display of information that the timer application displays), rather than a clock face user interface (such as information that is specific to the timer application, or displayed by the timer application) A user interface 1404 is displayed, which can accommodate interface with lower power consumption).

14A, at time 1410c, one second has elapsed since time 1410b. Countdown timer 1402c reflects this elapsed time, indicating that there are now 2 minutes and 42 seconds remaining on the timer. While in the low-power display mode and while displaying the user interface 1404 , the device 600 detects a tap user input 1450a on the touch-sensitive display of the device 600 . In response to detecting the tap user input 1450a (and regardless of the location of the detected tap user input 1450a on the touch-sensitive display), the device 600 transitions back to the standard display mode. responsive to detecting the tap user input 1450a (and regardless of the location of the detected tap user input 1450a on the touch-sensitive display) and the device 600 transitions to displaying the user interface 1404 After detecting the tap user input 1450a within a predetermined period of time (eg, within 2 seconds) of (1402) is substituted.

14A, at time 1410d, one second has elapsed since time 1410c. Countdown timer 1402c reflects this elapsed time, indicating that there are now 2 minutes and 41 seconds remaining on the timer. Device 600 is in a standard display mode. The affordances 1402d and 1402e as well as the title 1402a are displayed again. Cancellation affordance 1402d causes the countdown of countdown timer 1402c to be canceled when activated (eg, via a tap input on cancellation affordance 1402d). Pause affordance 1402e causes the countdown of countdown timer 1402c to pause when activated (eg, via a tap input on pause affordance 1402e). The countdown timer 1402c returns to being displayed in white (rather than gray). The background of the user interface 1402 is black.

The timer application continues to run throughout the hours of FIG. 14A , as reflected in the continuously updated countdown timer 1402c . In addition, device 600 will provide an alert once countdown timer 1402c expires, regardless of whether the device is in standard display mode or low power display mode.

14B illustrates the same electronic device 600 at five different times as indicated by time 1412 . Time 1412 is not part of the user interface of device 600 . Time 1412 is provided for a better understanding of the concepts being described.

In FIG. 14B , at time 1412a , device 600 displays the user interface 1402 of the timer application while device 600 is in the standard display mode. User interface 1402 is the same user interface displayed in FIG. 14A at time 1410a.

In response to determining that a predetermined period of time (eg, 2 seconds) has elapsed since transitioning to displaying the user interface 1404 without detecting a tap user input (and determining that the timer application is not a specific application type) (eg, because the application is not identified as being an application that would benefit from the continuous display of the lower power consumption user interface of the application), the device 600 transitions to the display of the clock face user interface 1406 . The clock face user interface 1406 is separate from the user interfaces 1402-1404 of the timer application. Clock face user interface 1406 has a lower brightness level than user interface 1402 . Clock face user interface 1406 includes date 1406a, current time 1406b, and various watch complications.

Compared to the clock face user interface 1406 of FIG. 14B , the clock face user interface 1406 of FIG. 14C includes a timer complication 1406h. The watch face user interface 1406 is displayed because the activity tracking application does not have an interface of lower power consumption, so the device displays the watch face user interface 1406 instead.

Device 600 has determined that the device has met the mode transition criteria (eg, detecting a wrist down gesture using, for example, motion sensors; no input of certain types for 15 seconds). In response to determining that device 600 met the mode transition criteria, device 600 transitioned to a low power display mode, replacing user interface 1408 with clock face user interface 1406 . Clock face user interface 1406 is the same user interface displayed in FIG. 14C at time 1414b. The watch face user interface 1406 is displayed because the activity tracking application does not have a lower power consumption interface, so the device 600 displays the watch face user interface 1406 instead. Clock face user interface 1406 is a lower power consumption user interface and has a lower brightness level than user interface 1408 .

In FIG. 14D , at time 1416c, three seconds have elapsed since time 1416b. While in the low-power display mode and while displaying the watch face user interface 1406 , the device 600 detects a tap user input 1450d on the touch-sensitive display of the device 600 .

The abbreviated elapsed workout time indicator 1420g displays elapsed time in hours and seconds rather than displaying elapsed time in hundredths of a second. In contrast, the elapsed workout time indicator 1420c displays the elapsed time as a higher precision value by displaying the elapsed time in hours, seconds, and hundredths of a second. Reducing the precision of the displayed elapsed time while displaying the user interface 1422 allows the device to reduce the amount of pixels used to display the time, thereby reducing the power consumption of the display of time. and make it possible to reduce the processing power required to calculate and/or display the time with higher precision, thereby further reducing the power consumption of the display of the time.

User interface 1422 has a lower brightness level than user interface 1420 .

14E, at time 1418c, one minute has elapsed since time 1418b. The abbreviated elapsed exercise time indicator 1420g reflects this elapsed time, indicating that 1 minute and 16 seconds have now elapsed. In contrast to the technique of FIG. 14B , the device 600 does not detect a tap user input, and despite the fact that a predetermined period of time (eg, 2 seconds) has elapsed since transitioning to displaying the user interface 1422, We did not transition the device 600 to displaying the watch face user interface 1406 . Device 600 did not transition device 600 to displaying watch face user interface 1406 , but instead maintained display of user interface 1422 , because the workout application is a specific application type. (eg, identified as benefiting from the continuous display of the lower power consumption user interface of the application). Because device 600 has determined that the workout application has a particular application type, device 600 withholds replacing user interface 1422 with the display of clock face user interface 1406 .

15 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for managing display usage using an electronic device, in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1500 is performed at a device having a display (eg, 100 , 300 , 500 , 600 ). Some operations of method 1500 are selectively combined, orders of some operations are selectively changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 100 , 300 , 500 , 600 ) is a computer system. The computer system, optionally, is in communication (eg, wired communication, wireless communication) with the display generating component and one or more input devices. The display generating component is configured to provide a visual output, such as a display via a CRT display, a display via an LED display, or a display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generating component is integrated with a computer system. In some embodiments, the display generating component is separate from the computer system.

As described below, the method 1500 provides an intuitive way to manage display usage. The method reduces power usage and the possibility of screen burn-in. The method also reduces the cognitive burden on the user for managing display usage, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling the device to automatically manage display usage faster and more efficiently saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

While the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is operating in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays, on a display, a first application (eg, separate from the operating system). A first user interface (eg, a higher power consumption interface) of a personally installed application, an interface corresponding to an application running in the foreground; 1402 in FIG. 14A in 1410a, 1402 in FIG. 1408 at 14c, 1408 in FIG. 14D at 1416a, 1420 in FIG. 14E at 1418a are displayed (1502). The first user interface includes a first graphical object (eg, 1402c, 1420c) corresponding to (eg, created by) the first application (eg, a graphical object comprising information provided by the first application) .

While displaying the first user interface, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) indicates that the electronic device (eg, 600 ) has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode). Detect (1504).

In response to detecting 1506 that the electronic device has met the criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, and the first application is a first type of application (eg, comprising an interface of a lower power consumption) application), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) causes a display of the first user interface (eg, 1402 , 1420 ) of the first application to a second user interface of the first application (eg, a different user interface than the first user interface) , a lower power consumption interface, 1404 of FIG. 14A at 1410b, 1404 of FIG. 14B at 1412B, 1422 of FIG. 14E at 1418B (eg, a lower power interface may be configured to exhibit one or more visual characteristics (of the elements). size, color, hue, saturation, opacity, shape) is replaced by a second graphical object corresponding to the first application (eg, 1402c, 1420g) (eg, a graphic object containing information provided by the first application) ( 1508 ). In some embodiments, the second graphical object is the first graphical object. In some embodiments, the second graphical object corresponds to the first graphical object (eg, the second graphical object includes the same information as the first graphical object).

In response to detecting 1506 that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, and the first application does not include an interface of a second type of application (eg, a lower power consumption interface) In accordance with the determination that the application is not an application), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) causes the display of the first user interface of the first application (eg, 1408 in FIG. 14C in 1414a , 1408 in FIG. 14D in 1416A ) to the first application. replace with a third user interface different from the first user interface of the first user interface and the second user interface of the first application (eg, the watch face of the smart watch, 1406 in Figure 14c in 1414b, 1406 in Figure 14d in 1416b) (1510). The third user interface is a portion of the first user interface of the first application, including a time indicator (eg, analog clock hands (hour, minute, second hands); digital clock numbers (hour, minute, second numbers; 1406i)). An operating system user interface that includes one or more elements (eg, 1406d, 1406e, 1406f) that are not (in some embodiments, and are not part of the second user interface of the first application). In some embodiments, the third user interface is not created by the first application. In some embodiments, the third user interface does not include graphical objects (eg, any graphical objects) created by the first application (eg, a graphical object that includes information provided by the first application) do not include them).

Displaying an application's lower power consumption interface when available allows the device to continue to show application specific information while in a lower power consumption mode, while still providing a lower power consumption watch face. By displaying, it allows the device to achieve a lower power consumption mode when a lower power consumption interface is not available for the application.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the electronic device has satisfied the fourth set of criteria for transitioning from the second mode to the first mode, the set of criteria (eg, the set of criteria indicates that the user input A time-from-input criterion that is met when detected within a threshold period (eg, 2 seconds, 5 seconds) of the electronic device transitioning to a mode, at which the user input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device. a touch gesture criterion that is satisfied when a touch gesture, a tap gesture criterion that is satisfied when the user input is a tap gesture detected on a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device, and a touch gesture criterion that is satisfied when the user input is one or more sensors (eg, motion sensors) of the electronic device ) is satisfied, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) causes a display of the third user interface to the first application replace with a display of a first user interface (eg, 1402 in FIG. 14B in 1412e) that includes a first graphical object (eg, 1402c) corresponding to (eg, created by), where the set of criteria includes a criterion that is satisfied when the user input is detected within a threshold period of time of the electronic device transitioning to the second mode.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the electronic device has met the fourth set of criteria for transitioning from the second mode to the first mode, that the set of criteria is not met (eg, the input is after a threshold period) . replace the display of a second user interface of , and a fifth user interface different from the third user interface (eg, 1426 in FIG. 14D in 1416D, the brighter watch face of the smart watch), where the fifth user The interface includes one or more elements that are not part of the user interface of the first application, including a third temporal indicator (eg, 1426b) whose one or more characteristics are different from the temporal indicator (eg, 1406i) of the third user interface (eg, 1426b). for example, 1426d to 1426g). In some embodiments, the third temporal indicator is displayed at a higher brightness level than the brightness level of the temporal indicator of the third user interface. In some embodiments, the second time indicator is smaller in size than the time indicator of the third user interface. In some embodiments, the second time indicator is a different color than the time indicator of the third user interface.

In some embodiments, the user input is a wrist lift gesture (eg, detected using one or more motion sensors of the electronic device). In some embodiments, the input type criterion is satisfied if the user input is a wrist lift gesture. Displaying a brighter user interface when the device detects that the user is performing a wrist lift gesture to interact with the device provides feedback to the user that the device has left the lower power consumption mode. Providing the user with improved visual feedback improves the operability of the device and reduces user errors (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device) and user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the user input is a tap gesture (eg, 1450c, 1450d, detected using a touch-sensitive surface of the electronic device). In some embodiments, the input type criterion is satisfied if the user input is a tap gesture. In some embodiments, the input type criterion is satisfied if the user input is a tap gesture or a wrist lift gesture. In some embodiments, the threshold period varies based on the type of input being received. In some examples, the threshold period is shorter when the user input is a tap input and longer when the user input is a wrist lift gesture. Displaying a brighter user interface when the device detects that the user is performing a tap gesture to interact with the device provides feedback to the user that the device has left the lower power consumption mode. Providing the user with improved visual feedback improves the operability of the device and reduces user errors (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device) and user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, a first graphical object (eg, 1402c, 1420c) (or another graphical object, such as 1402d, 1402e) is displayed in a first user interface with a first visual characteristic (eg, with a first color); A first graphical object (or other graphical object 1402d, 1402e), when selected in the first user interface, activates a first function (eg, detecting a tap gesture on the first graphical object by the device corresponds to a corresponding a function (eg, a function associated with the first application) to be performed). For example, cancel when affordance 1402d is depressed, and pause when affordance 1402e is depressed.

In some embodiments, the first graphical object (or other graphical object 1402d, 1402e) has a second visual characteristic in the second user interface that is different from the first visual characteristic (eg, darker in 1404 in FIG. 14A ). displayed in a second color, such as in affordance of the color, and the first graphical object, when selected in the second user interface, does not cause activation of the first function (eg, does not cause activation of any function; Causes activation of a function other than one function (eg, causes a transition from the second mode to the first mode). In some embodiments, the appearance of the first graphical object is changed to indicate whether the graphical object is activatable. Displaying an indication that certain graphical objects cannot be activated in certain modes provides feedback to the user as to which inputs will and will not perform functions, and reduces unnecessary user inputs. Providing the user with improved visual feedback improves the operability of the device and reduces user errors (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device) and user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the first graphical object (eg, 1420c ) (eg, a first metric provided by the workout application) is a selected graphical object (eg, with other graphical objects of the first user interface ( visually differentiated (eg, indicating that it is selected and/or highlighted for further action) (eg, by highlighting, bolding, by different sizes). In some embodiments, only one graphical object can be selected at a time, and selection of another graphical object deselects the first graphical object. In some embodiments, the first application is an athletic application (eg, a physical activity tracking application). In some embodiments, the first user interface of the first application is not the selected graphical object, but rather a third graphical object corresponding to the first application (eg, 1420d and 1420e of FIG. 14E in 1418a, provided by the workout application). second metric).

In some embodiments, replacing the display of the first user interface of the first application with a second user interface of the first application that is different from the first user interface (eg, an interface of lower power consumption) comprises the second graphical Upon determining that the object (eg, 1420g ) corresponds to the selected first graphical object (eg, the second graphical object includes at least a portion of the same information as the first graphical object), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) 2 represent the graphical object (eg, 1420 g) at a first brightness level (eg, average pixel luminance (APL), average lumen output, total lumen output, average illuminance, or total illuminance of an indicator on the display; nits, lux, or lumens) to display with the brightness that becomes available; and in accordance with a determination that the second graphical object (eg, 1420d and 1420e of FIG. 14E in 1418b ) corresponds to a third graphical object that is not the selected object (eg, does not correspond to the selected first graphical object), the electronic device ( For example, 600 includes displaying the second graphical object at a second brightness level that is less than the first brightness level. In some embodiments, the first application is an exercise application that tracks the user's exercise information/metric (eg, steps, distance, heart rate), and the first graphical object and the second graphical object use the same exercise metric. Display. In some embodiments, while in the second mode, the second user interface for the first application displays the selected graphical object at a brightness level that is brighter than the brightness level of the unselected graphical objects. Distinguishing between selected and unselected graphical elements for brightness control allows the device to display selected elements (eg, particularly relevant to the user) at an appropriate brightness level so that the user can more easily access the selected information, while It makes it possible to reduce the overall display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, after displaying the second graphical object (eg, 1420g in 1418b) at the first brightness level, the electronic device (eg, 600 ), on the display, the first user having the first graphical object Display a second instance of the interface as the selected object, and the electronic device (eg, 600 ) detects a set of one or more inputs corresponding to a request to select a third graphical object. In response to detecting the set of one or more inputs corresponding to the request to select the third graphical object, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) selects the third graphical object and deselects the first graphical object. In some embodiments, a third graphical object indicates that it is selected from other graphical objects of the first user interface (eg, by highlighting, by bolding, by a different size) (eg, by making it a further action). to indicate selected and/or highlighted) with one or more visual characteristics. While the third graphical object is selected, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) detects that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. In response to detecting that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode while the third graphical object is detected, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is configured to: replace the display with a second instance of a second user interface comprising a fourth graphical object, wherein the fourth graphical object is, in accordance with a determination that the fourth graphical object corresponds to an unselected first graphical object, a third brightness level displayed as; According to a determination that the fourth graphical object corresponds to the selected third graphical object, the fourth graphical object is displayed at a fourth brightness level that is greater than the third brightness level. In some embodiments, selecting a different graphical object (eg, while within the first user interface) may result in the graphical object of the second user interface corresponding to the newly selected graphical object being previously selected (e.g., while within the first user interface) but to be displayed at a brightness level that is greater than the brightness of the graphic object of the second user interface corresponding to the graphic object (which is no longer selected). Distinguishing between selected and unselected graphical elements for brightness control allows the device to display selected elements (eg, particularly relevant to the user) at an appropriate brightness level so that the user can more easily access the selected information, while It makes it possible to reduce the overall display brightness, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the fourth graphical object is updated at a shorter update interval than the second graphical object based on the third graphical object being selected. In some embodiments, graphical objects in the second user interface that correspond to the selected graphical object in the first user interface have a shorter update interval than graphical objects in the second user interface that do not correspond to the selected graphical objects in the first user interface updated with Distinguishing between a selected graphical element and an unselected graphical element with respect to the frequency of updates allows the device to update the selected elements (eg, particularly relevant to the user) at appropriate intervals so that the user can more easily access the selected information. while reducing the overall processing required for the user interface, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays, on the display, a second application different from the first application (eg, an installed application separate from the operating system, an interface corresponding to the application running in the foreground) display a fourth user interface (eg, an interface of higher power consumption) of (eg, generated by), the fourth user interface being a fifth graphical object corresponding to (eg, generated by) the second application (eg, a graphic object containing information provided by the second application). While displaying the fourth user interface, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) detects that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. Criteria for the electronic device to transition from the first mode to the second mode (eg, criteria indicative of reduced user interaction with the electronic device (eg, timeout expiration, accelerometer data indicative of wrist lowered, palm up In response to detecting that the second application is a first type of application (eg, an application comprising an interface of lower power consumption), in response to detecting that the touch data indicative of the gesture) is satisfied, the electronic device (eg, 600 indicates a display of a fourth user interface of the second application, a fifth user interface of the second application different from the fourth user interface (eg, an interface of lower power consumption) (eg, an interface of lower power consumption, one The above visual characteristics (size, color, hue, saturation, opacity, shape of elements) are replaced with the higher power interface, and the fifth user interface is a sixth graphic object corresponding to the second application. (eg, a graphic object containing information provided by the second application). In some embodiments, the sixth graphical object is a fifth graphical object. In some embodiments, the sixth graphical object corresponds to the fifth graphical object (eg, the sixth graphical object includes the same information as the fifth graphical object). In some embodiments, upon determining that the second application is a second type of application (eg, an application that does not include an interface of lower power consumption), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is a fourth user of the second application Replace the display of the interface with a third user interface (eg, the watch face of the smart watch). In some embodiments, the third user interface is not created by the second application. In some embodiments, the third user interface is different from the fifth user interface of the second application and the sixth user interface of the second application. In some embodiments, the third user interface does not include graphical objects (eg, any graphical objects) created by the second application (eg, a graphical object that includes information provided by the second application) do not include them).

Reducing the display's brightness below a threshold brightness level when in a lower power consumption mode reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the electronic device (eg, 600 ) has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, the first user interface of the first application (eg, at 1416a ) Before replacing the display of 1408 in FIG. 14D with a third user interface (eg, 1406 in FIG. 14D in 1416B), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) reduces the brightness of the first user interface. In some embodiments, the electronic device slightly dims the first user interface before replacing the first user interface with a third user interface.

In some embodiments, the sixth set of criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode is that the electronic device detects a lower wrist gesture, such as when the user raises their wrist wearing the electronic device. Satisfied when detecting that it has moved from a position to a non-lifted position. In some embodiments, the sixth set of criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode is satisfied when the electronic device detects a tap input on a touch screen display of the device. In response to detecting that the electronic device has met the fifth set of criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) transitions from the first mode to the second mode.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the electronic device has met the fifth set of criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, a sixth of criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode As the electronic device displays the system user interface when the set is satisfied, the display of the system user interface generated by the operating system (eg, 1818 in FIG. 18I ) may be changed to a clock face user interface (eg, a different clock face user interface than the system user interface) (eg, 1818 in FIG. 18I ). 1822 in FIG. 18K, 1824 in FIG. 18L; watch face of a smart watch), the watch face user interface includes time indicators (e.g., analog watch hands (hour, minute, second); digital watch numbers (hour, minute, hour, minute, An operating system user interface that includes one or more elements that are not part of the system user interface, including seconds)).

For example, methods 700 , 900 , 1100 , 1300 , 1700 , 1900 optionally include one or more of the features of the various methods described above with reference to method 1500 . For example, the first mode is the same mode throughout these methods, and the second mode is the same mode throughout these methods. For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated below.

Stopwatch timer 1602c indicates that 3.29 seconds have elapsed since the stopwatch timer started. The title 1602a is displayed in the same color (eg, white) as the color (eg, white) of the current time 1602b (eg, white) and the color (eg, white) of the stopwatch timer 1602c. Lap affordance 1602d, when activated (eg, via a tap input on lap affordance 1602d), causes the stopwatch application to display a lap time.

The user interface 1604 does not include a current time (eg, 1602b), a wrap affordance (eg, 1602d), or a stop affordance (eg, 1602e) because, for example, the first template is This is because it accepts only a single type of information to be displayed (eg, time). In the examples of FIGS. 6A and 6B , stopwatch timer 1604c is displayed at a larger size than stopwatch timer 1602c . Title 1604a and stopwatch timer 1604c are displayed in gray color. The background of user interface 1604 is black. User interface 1604 has a lower brightness level than user interface 1602 .

Title 1606a, time 1606b, song name 1606c, artist name 1606d, playback controls 1606e, and controls 1606f are optionally in the same color (e.g., , white). The background of user interface 1606 is black. The music application determines the arrangement of graphical elements (eg, 1606c, 1606d, 1606e) of the user interface 1606 . The music application also determines the size, color, and content of the graphical elements of the user interface 1606 .

While displaying the user interface 1606 of the music application, the device 600 indicates that the device 600 has met the mode transition criteria (eg, detects a wrist down gesture using, for example, motion sensors; for 15 seconds) There is no input of certain types).

User interface 1608 does not include the current time (e.g., 1606b), artist name (e.g., 1606d), playback controls (e.g., 1606e), or controls (e.g., 1606f) because, for example, This is because, for example, the first template accepts only a single type of information to be displayed in addition to the title (eg song name). In the examples of FIGS. 6C and 6D , song name 1608c is displayed at a larger size than song name 1606c . Title 1608a and song name 1608c are displayed in gray color. The background of user interface 1608 is black. User interface 1608 has a lower brightness level than user interface 1606 .

Because user interfaces 1604 and 1608 both use the same first template, they have various visual characteristics in common. In some embodiments, the position, size, color, and font of title 1604a are the same as those of 1608a . In some embodiments, the location, size, color, and font of the stopwatch timer 1604c are the same as those of the song name 1608c. In some embodiments, the background color of user interfaces 1604 and 1608 is the same color. In some embodiments, user interfaces 1604 and 1608 include only two fields (eg, for title and for stopwatch timer/song name), respectively.

16E and 16F illustrate the transition from a higher power consumption user interface (using a second template) to a lower power consumption user interface while displaying a progress tracking application.

16E illustrates an electronic device 600 displaying a user interface 1610 of a progress tracking application while the device 600 is in a standard display mode. User interface 1610 is a higher power consumption user interface.

Title 1610a , time 1610b , time progress text 1610c , and step progress text 1610e are optionally displayed in the same color (eg, white) within user interface 1610 . The background of the user interface 1610 is black. The progress tracking application determines the arrangement of graphical elements (eg, 1610c, 1610d, 1610e, 1610f) of the user interface 1610 . The progress tracking application also determines the size, color, and content of graphical elements of the user interface 1610 .

In response to determining that device 600 has met the mode transition criteria, device 600 transitions to a low power display mode and replaces user interface 1610 with user interface 1612 . User interface 1612 is an interface of lower power consumption (compared to 1610), and is a first template different from the first template (eg, based on device 600 determining that the progress tracking application corresponds to the second template). 2 Displayed using a template.

16F illustrates electronic device 600 displaying user interface 1612 while device 600 is in a low power display mode. The user interface 1612 includes, depending on the second template, a title 1612a of the progress tracking application, units of measure 1612b, and time progress information 1612c. The second template may optionally include an amount of graphic elements, a color of the graphic elements (eg, gray), a size of the graphic elements (a larger size for a timer, a smaller size for a title), a location of the graphic elements (eg, a smaller size for the title) centered on the display), the brightness level of the graphic elements, the background color (eg, black), the font of the text, and the precision at which the data is displayed. User interface 1608 does not include a current time (e.g., 1610b), a time progress bar (e.g., 1610d), step progress text (e.g., 1610e), and a step progress bar (e.g., 1610f) because: This is because, for example, the second template accepts only the set of units of measure and progress information to be displayed in addition to the title. In the examples of FIGS. 6E and 6F , the progress of minutes is displayed in a different format, as illustrated by time advance information 1612c . The units of measure 1612b are displayed in a smaller font compared to the time progress information 1612c. Title 1612a, units of measure 1612b, and time progress information 1612c are displayed in gray color. The background of user interface 1612 is black. User interface 1612 has a lower brightness level than user interface 1610 .

In some embodiments, the progress tracking application provides units for units of measure 1612b and provides progress and goals for time progress information 1612c , although the progress tracking application allows device 600 to display a low power display. In order to display the user interface 1612 in mode, it is not possible to specify the color, size, position, font, and/or precision to display the information.

Because user interface 1612 uses a second template that is different from the first template used for user interfaces 1604 , 1608 , user interface 1612 has a variety of different visual characteristics than the visual characteristics of user interfaces 1604 , 1608 . It has visual properties. In some embodiments, the location, size, color, and font of the units of measure 1612b and the time progress information 1612c are different from the graphical elements of the user interfaces 1604 , 1608 . In some embodiments, the background color of user interfaces 1604 , 1608 , 1612 is the same color. In some embodiments, user interfaces 1604 and 1608 each include only two fields (eg, for title and for stopwatch timer/song name), while user interface 1612 contains more than two fields. contains fields of

17A and 17B are flow diagrams illustrating a method for managing display usage using an electronic device, in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1700 is performed at a device having a display (eg, 100 , 300 , 500 , device 600 , smart watch, smart phone, tablet computer). Some operations of the method 1700 are selectively combined, the orders of some operations are selectively changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 100 , 300 , 500 , 600 ) is a computer system. The computer system, optionally, is in communication (eg, wired communication, wireless communication) with the display generating component and one or more input devices. The display generating component is configured to provide a visual output, such as a display via a CRT display, a display via an LED display, or a display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generating component is integrated with a computer system. In some embodiments, the display generating component is separate from the computer system.

As described below, the method 1700 provides an intuitive way to manage display usage. The method reduces power usage and the possibility of screen burn-in. The method also reduces the cognitive burden on the user for managing display usage, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling the device to automatically manage display usage faster and more efficiently saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

While the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is operating 1702 in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays, on a display, a user interface determined by the first application Display ( 1704 ) a first user interface (eg, 1602; a higher power consumption interface) of a first application having an arrangement of elements (eg, 1602c - 1602e ), on the display, determined by the second application Display ( 1706 ) a second user interface (eg, 1606; interface with higher power consumption) of a second application having an arrangement of user interface elements (eg, 1606c - 1606f ).

While the electronic device (eg, 600 ) is operating in the first mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) configures criteria for the electronic device to transition from the first mode to a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode). It is detected that it has been satisfied (1710).

Criteria for the electronic device to transition from the first mode to the second mode (eg, criteria indicative of reduced user interaction with the electronic device (eg, timeout expiration, accelerometer data indicative of wrist lowered, palm up In response to detecting that the touch data indicative of the gesture)) has been satisfied, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) transitions from the first mode to the second mode ( 1712 ).

Transitioning 1712 from the first mode to the second mode is such that the first application (eg, 1602 ) causes the electronic device to detect that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. In accordance with a determination that it has been displayed on the display, information from the first application (eg, 1604c) is transferred to a predefined template (eg, a template shown for use in 1604 and 1608 (eg, preset elements (eg, graphics)) elements, watch complications, text elements, and/or time indicator elements), preset sizes for elements, preset color schemes for elements, preset color schemes for elements and displaying 1714 in a preset format (including brightness level schemes, and/or current positions for elements); a preset arrangement; a preset layout).

Transitioning from the first mode to the second mode 1712 is a second application (eg, 1606 ) when the electronic device detects that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. and displaying ( 1716 ) the information from the second application (eg, 1608c ) in a predefined template (eg, the template shown for use at 1604 and 1608 ) in accordance with a determination that it has been displayed on the display. As discussed in more detail above, the first mode and the second mode are different modes in which the electronic device may operate.

Displaying information from various applications using the same template enables a device to display information from their various applications using an interface of lower power consumption, which reduces the device's power usage and battery life to improve Displaying the information in the same template also provides feedback to the user regarding the state of the device (eg, it is in the second mode). Providing the user with improved visual feedback improves the operability of the device and reduces user errors (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device) and user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, while the electronic device is operating 1702 in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode), the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays user interface elements (eg, user interface elements determined by a third application) , display ( 1708 ) a third user interface (eg, 1610 ; interface of higher power consumption) of a third application having an arrangement of , 1610c - 1610f ). In some embodiments, transitioning 1712 from the first mode to the second mode is a third application when the electronic device detects that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. In accordance with a determination that (eg, 1610 ) has been displayed on the display, the information from the third application (eg, 1612b, 1612c) is different from a predefined template (eg, templates as shown at 1604 and 1608 ) (eg, 1612b, 1612c). For example, displaying with a second predefined template (eg, a template as shown at 1612 ) having a different predefined set or arrangement of elements; having the same elements but arranged in a different predefined spatial pattern (eg, a template as shown at 1612 ). 1718). In some embodiments, different applications use different predefined templates to display information while the electronic device is in the second mode. In some embodiments, the first application and the second application are an application of a first type, thus using a predefined template, and the third application is an application of a second type (different from the first type); Accordingly, the second predefined template is used. In some embodiments, the predefined template and the second predefined template include placement of user interface elements in different locations.

Displaying information from specific types of applications using templates corresponding to the application causes the device to display information from those different types of applications in formats suitable for applications in interface formats of lower power consumption. This reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the predefined template (eg, a template as shown at 1604 and 1608 ) is a user interface template configured for use in a low power consumption mode. In some embodiments, the power required to display the first user interface (eg, of the first and/or second applications)

It is higher than the power required to display with predefined templates. In some embodiments, displaying information of a first application with a predefined template requires approximately the same amount of power as displaying information of a second application with a predefined template.

In some embodiments, the predefined template causes display of an application icon corresponding to the application displayed on the display when the electronic device detects that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. Contains an icon template field for

In some embodiments, the predefined template is information for display of information from an application displayed on a display when the electronic device detects that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. template fields (eg, template fields for displaying 1604c, 1608c).

In some embodiments, the predefined template also includes a title template field for display of the name of the application or a title provided by the application. In some embodiments, the icon template field is located at the top of the user interface, the title template field is located below the icon template field, and the information template field is displayed below the title template field. Displaying the application icon and information from the application provides feedback to the user as to which application is providing the information. Providing the user with improved visual feedback improves the operability of the device and reduces user errors (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device) and user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the first application is of a first category of applications (eg, applications requiring more frequent display updates in the second mode), and the second application is a second application of a different category of applications than the first category of information. It is of two categories (eg, applications that require less frequent updates in the second mode). While the electronic device is operating in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) displays on a display when the electronic device detects that the electronic device has met criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode. Updates information (eg, 1604c, 1608c) from an updated application over time at an update interval determined based on the category of the application. In some embodiments, when information from a first application is being displayed, the information is updated at a first update interval (eg, updated every second), and when information from a second application is being displayed, the information is updated at a second update interval different from the first update interval (eg, updated every 2 seconds). For example, information from applications that are classified as workout (eg, user workout tracking) applications are updated more frequently than information from applications that are not classified as workout applications.

Changing the interval at which displayed information from applications is updated based on the category of application depends on the frequency at which the information to be displayed is calculated and for example whether the application is a lower priority application and/or the application is frequent/constant. By reducing the frequency at which the display has to be refreshed when not providing updated information, it enables the device to conserve battery power, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, the information from the first application is of a first category of information (eg, timer information 1604c, information requiring more frequent display updates in the second mode) and the information from the second application is of a second category of information that is different from the first category of information (eg, track name information 1608c, information requiring less frequent updates in the second mode). While the electronic device is operating in the second mode, the electronic device (eg, 600 ) causes a display of information (eg, 1604c , 1608c ) from an application displayed on the display, an update determined based on the category of information. Update over time at intervals. In some embodiments, the displayed information from the first category of information is updated at a first information update interval (eg, updated every second), and the displayed information from the second category of information is updated with the first information update interval. updated at a second information update interval different from the interval (eg, updated every 2 seconds, every 10 seconds, or every minute). For example, information classified as exercise (eg, user exercise tracking) information is updated more frequently than information not classified as exercise information. Changing the interval at which the displayed information from applications is updated based on the category of information may depend on how often the information to be displayed is calculated and/or the type of information being of a lower priority, for example, the type of information. By reducing the frequency with which the display has to be refreshed when this is not time-sensitive, it allows the device to conserve battery power, which reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life.

In some embodiments, displaying the first user interface of the first application (eg, the interface of higher power consumption) having the arrangement of user interface elements determined by the first application comprises a first category of information (eg, a timer information; exercise information, steps taken, heart rate). In some embodiments, displaying the information from the first application in the predefined template comprises displaying information of the first category of information. In some embodiments, the displayed information from the first application in the predefined template is visually different from the displayed information in the first user interface by one or more visual characteristics other than color (eg, does not have a hundredths of a second field as shown in 1604c). In some embodiments, the information displayed within the first user interface is of a first size, and the same category of information displayed using the predefined template is of a first size different (eg, smaller than the first size) of the first size. 2 sizes. In some embodiments, the information displayed within the first user interface is displayed at a first brightness level, and the same category of information displayed using the predefined template is different from the first brightness level (eg, the first brightness level). less bright than the level) at a second brightness level.

Displaying information from the application in visually distinct ways provides feedback to the user regarding the state of the device. Providing the user with improved visual feedback improves the operability of the device and reduces user errors (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device) and user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, displaying a first user interface (eg, 1602; interface of higher power consumption) of the first application having an arrangement of user interface elements determined by the first application comprises a first set of information (eg, , minutes and seconds of 1602c) and a second set of information (eg, hundredths of a second of 1602c). In some embodiments, displaying information from the first application in a predefined template does not display a second set of information (eg, hundredths of a second of 1602c) without displaying a first set of information (eg, 1602c). minutes and seconds). In some embodiments, the amount of information displayed while in the second mode is less than the amount of information displayed while in the first mode.

In some embodiments, a first display brightness level of the display (eg, on the display) while displaying a first user interface (eg, 1602 ) while the electronic device is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode). The indicator's average pixel luminance (APL), average lumen output, total lumen output, average illuminance, or total illuminance; brightness expressed in nits, lux, or lumens) indicates that the electronic device is in a second mode (eg, a lower power consumption mode). ) is higher than the second display brightness level of the display while displaying information from the first application with a predefined template (eg, 1604 ). In some embodiments, a third display brightness level (eg, average pixel brightness (APL)) of the display while displaying a second user interface while the electronic device is in a first mode (eg, a higher power consumption mode) is a fourth display brightness level (eg, APL, second display) of the display while displaying information from the second application in a predefined template while the electronic device is in the second mode (eg, lower power consumption mode) same as brightness). Accordingly, the overall brightness of the display is reduced when displaying information while the electronic device is in the second mode as compared to displaying information while the electronic device is in the first mode. Reducing the overall brightness of the display reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life, while still allowing the user to access the device.

Note that the details of the processes described above with respect to method 1700 (eg, FIGS. 17A and 17B ) are also applicable in a similar manner to the methods described above/below. For example, methods 700 , 900 , 1100 , 1300 , 1500 , 1900 optionally include one or more of the features of the various methods described above with reference to method 1700 . For example, the first mode is the same mode throughout these methods, and the second mode is the same mode throughout these methods. For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated below.

18A-18L illustrate example devices and user interfaces for managing display usage, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces of these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes of FIG. 19 .

In particular, FIGS. 18A-18F , upon determining that the device has met mode transition criteria, such as the mode transition criteria described in greater detail above, change one or more aspects (eg, visual characteristics) of the displayed user interface. By doing so, it illustrates techniques for managing display usage.

18A-18F illustrate a higher power consumption user interface (eg, FIG. 18A ) to a lower power consumption user interface (eg FIG. 18D ) and, again, higher power for a user interface of a music application. It illustrates the transition of consumption to a user interface (eg, FIG. 18F ).

18A illustrates an electronic device 600 that is in a standard display mode and displays a user interface 1802 for a music application at a standard display mode brightness level. User interface 1802 includes a title 1802a (eg, “Music”) and graphical elements 1802 (eg, a stack of albums). User interface 1802 is a higher power consumption user interface displayed while device 600 is in a standard display mode. While displaying user interface 1802 , device 600 indicates that device 600 has met mode transition criteria (eg, detects a wrist down gesture using, for example, motion sensors; not receiving input). In response to determining that device 600 has met the mode transition criteria, device 600 begins transitioning to a low power display mode, transitioning user interface 1802 to user interface 1804 , which is a lower power consumption user interface. to replace 18A , device 600 also displays a notification indicator 1840 indicating that one or more unread notifications are available.

As part of the transition from user interface 1802 to user interface 1804 , device 600 stops displaying the current time 1802b (eg, as shown in user interface 1804 of FIG. 18B ) and , fade out, blur out) change the brightness of user interface 1802 (eg, including title 1802a and graphic elements 1802c) to make them less bright. For example, device 600 may change some (or all) white elements, such as title 1802, to a gray color, thereby reducing the amount of power the elements consume and reducing the risk of burn-in on the display. reduce Simultaneously with reducing the brightness of user interface 1802, device 600 may optionally reduce the size of user interface 1802, as shown in user interface 1804 of FIG. 18B, 1802) is maintained. In addition, device 600 applies a first level of blur to elements of user interface 1802 , as shown in user interface 1804 of FIG. 18B . As a result, device 600 provides an animation of user interface 1802 that moves backward in z-space and blurs out while the display decreases brightness. During the transition from the interface of FIG. 18A to the interface of FIG. 18B , the device 600 maintains the size, position, color, and overall shape of the notification indicator 1840 (eg, no blurring). As noted by brightness scale 630 , the overall brightness of the display of device 600 is higher while displaying user interface 1802 than while displaying user interface 1804 .

The transition continues, with device 600 animating changes from user interface 1804 to user interface 1806 . Device 600 displays (eg, fades in, blurs in) the current time 1806b, (eg, title 1802a and Change the brightness of user interface 1804 (including graphical elements 1802c) so that user interface 1806 is less bright compared to user interfaces 1804 and 1802. For example, device 600 may change some (or all) gray elements, such as title 1802a , to a darker gray color, thereby reducing the amount of power the elements consume, and reducing burn-in on the display. Reduce risk. Simultaneously with reducing the brightness of user interface 1804 , device 600 may optionally further reduce the size of user interface 1804 , as shown in user interface 1806 of FIG. 18C , while optionally allowing a user Keep the interface 1804 centered. Furthermore, device 600 applies a second (additional) level of blur to elements of user interface 1804 , as shown in user interface 1806 of FIG. 18C . As a result, device 600 provides an additional animation of user interface 1804 that moves further back and blurs out further in z space while the display further reduces brightness. During the transition from the interface of FIG. 18B to the interface of FIG. 18C , the device 600 continues to maintain the size, position, color, and overall shape of the notification indicator 1840 (eg, no blurring). As noted by brightness scale 630 , the overall brightness of the display of device 600 is higher while displaying user interface 1804 than while displaying user interface 1806 . Accordingly, the device consumes less power while displaying the user interface 1806 .

The current time 1806b in FIG. 18C is displayed in white and is greater than the current time 1802b in FIG. 18A . The location of the current time 1806b is different compared to the location of the current time 1802b. For example, the current time 1806b is further away from the edge of the display compared to the current time 1802b. For another example, the current time 1806b is closer to the center of the display compared to the current time 1802b.

18C and 18D , device 600 is in a low power display mode and is displaying aspects of user interfaces 1802 at reduced size and brightness, which are blurred out elements of a music application (eg, 1802a ). , 1802c), and the unblurred current time 1806b. As time elapses, the current time 1806b is updated, as illustrated in the transition between FIGS. 18C and 18D . In some embodiments, the location, size, and/or color of the current time 1806b is changed between the user interface 1806 and the user interface 1808 of FIGS. 18C and 18D (eg, as time progresses) changed), thereby reducing the possibility of burn-in of the display. In some embodiments, the blurred out contents of the user interface of the music application remain static while the device is in a low power display mode (eg, the contents are not updated even when the music application is running).

While displaying user interface 1808 in FIG. 18D and while device 600 is in a low power display mode, device 600 receives a request to transition to a standard display mode (eg, detects a wrist lift gesture). , detecting a tap on the display of device 600). In response to receiving the request to transition to the standard display mode, device 600 animates a transition between user interface 1808 of FIG. 18D and user interface 1812 of FIG. 18F .

As part of the animated transition to display user interface 1812 , device 600 stops displaying current time 1806b (eg, fades out), as illustrated in user interface 1810 of FIG. 18E . ham, blur out). In FIG. 18E , the overall brightness of the display has increased compared to the display of device 600 in FIG. 18D . The title 1802a and graphical elements 1802c are larger, brighter, and less blurred compared to the user interface 1808 . Dark gray elements become less dark (eg light gray). During the transition from the interface of FIG. 18D to the interface of FIG. 18E , the device 600 maintains the size, position, color, and overall shape of the notification indicator 1840 (eg, no blurring). As the animation continues, in FIG. 18F , device 600 displays (eg, fades) current time 1802b (eg, in the same location as previously displayed current time 1802b within user interface 1802 ). Inclusion, blur in). In FIG. 18F , the overall brightness of the display has increased compared to the display of device 600 in FIG. 18E . In user interface 1812 , title 1802a and graphic elements 1802c are larger, brighter, and no longer blurred. In some examples, user interface 1812 reverts to non-monochromatic (having a variety of colors).

18G and 18H illustrate a transition for a user interface of a timer application from a higher power consumption user interface (eg, FIG. 18G ) to a lower power consumption user interface (eg, FIG. 18H ). In some embodiments, the timer application is the same as described with reference to FIGS. 14A and 14B . For example, user interface 1814 corresponds to user interface 1402 .

18G illustrates an electronic device 600 in a standard display mode and displaying a user interface 1814 for a timer application. User interface 1814 includes a title 1814a (“Timer”) of the timer application, current time 1814b, countdown timer 1814c, cancel affordance 1814d, and pause affordance 1814e. Countdown timer 1814c indicates that there are 4 minutes and 58 seconds remaining on the timer, at which point device 600 will provide an alert (visual, audio, and/or tactile) that the timer has expired. The title 1814a is displayed in a color (eg, orange) different from the color of the current time 1814b (eg, white) and the color (eg, white) of the countdown timer 1814c (eg, white). Cancellation affordance 1814d causes the countdown of countdown timer 1814c to be canceled when activated (eg, via a tap input on cancellation affordance 1814d). Pause affordance 1814e causes the countdown of countdown timer 1814c to pause when activated (eg, via a tap input on pause affordance 1814e). The background of user interface 1814 is black.

User interface 1814 is a higher power consumption user interface that is displayed while device 600 is in a standard display mode. While displaying user interface 1814 , device 600 indicates that device 600 has met mode transition criteria (eg, detects a wrist down gesture using, for example, motion sensors; no input). In response to determining that device 600 has met the mode transition criteria, device 600 begins transitioning to a low power display mode, transitioning user interface 1814 to user interface 1816 , which is a lower power consumption user interface. to replace

As part of the transition from user interface 1814 to user interface 1816 , device 600 stops displaying (eg, fades out, blurs out) the current time 1802b, and instead, the current time 1802b. (1814f) at a larger size and in a different location. Device 600 reduces the brightness of the display when transitioning from user interface 1814 to user interface 1816 . Device 600 decreases the brightness at which title 1814a, countdown timer 1814c, cancel affordance 1814d, and pause affordance 1814e are displayed. For example, device 600 may change some (or all) white elements, such as title 1802, to a gray color, thereby reducing the amount of power the elements consume and reducing the risk of burn-in on the display. Reduce. Simultaneously with reducing the brightness of the user interface, the device 600 optionally maintains the center of the user interface while reducing the size of the user interface elements, as shown in the transition between the user interfaces 1814 and 1816 . make it Device 600 blurs elements of the user interface, as shown in user interface 1816 of FIG. 18H . As a result, device 600 provides an animation of the user interface of the timer application that moves backward in z-space and the color becomes solid and blurs out while the display decreases brightness. As noted by brightness scale 630 , the overall brightness of the display of device 600 is higher while displaying user interface 1814 as compared to displaying user interface 1816 . Accordingly, the device 600 is consuming less power while in the low power display mode and is displaying the user interface 1816 compared to the user interface 1814 . In some embodiments, while displaying user interface 1814 , the displayed graphical elements of the timer application optionally remain static (eg, timer 1814c is not updated), while the current time ( 1814f) is updated. As illustrated in FIG. 18H , in some embodiments, while displaying user interface 1814 , some (or all) displayed graphical elements of the timer application may be displayed at various update intervals (eg, as described above). ) is updated. For example, countdown timer 1814c has been updated to reflect that one second has elapsed, so countdown timer 1814c indicates that 4 minutes and 57 seconds remain. While the device 600 is in the low power display mode, the process of the timer application continues to run. For example, device 600 will alert the user once the timer of the timer application has expired.

18I and 18J illustrate device 600 operating in a standard display mode while displaying system user interface 1818 . System user interface 1818 corresponds to (or is equivalent to) user interface 608-11, as described above. In FIG. 18I , device 600 is displaying a system settings user interface 1818 , which enables/disables Wi-Fi (eg, by the device detecting a tap gesture on Wi-Fi affordance 1818a), the battery check percentage 1818b, turn on Do Not Disturb (eg, by device 600 detecting a tap gesture on affordance 1818c), and turn on Do Not Disturb (eg, device 600 detects a tap gesture on affordance 1818d); position the external device (eg, by detecting a tap gesture on ) provides the user with an easy way to turn on theater mode (by detecting a tap gesture on theater affordance 1818f).

In FIG. 18J , device 600 is displaying a system notification user interface 1820 that provides a list of received notifications 1820a , 1820b to the user. Notification 1820a is a received notification corresponding to the workout application. When activated (eg, detecting a tap on notification 1820a ), device 600 displays the workout application. Notification 1820b is a received notification corresponding to the payment application. When activated (eg, detecting a tap on notification 1820b ), device 600 displays a payment application.

While displaying the system user interface (eg, 1818 , 1820 ), device 600 indicates that device 600 has met mode transition criteria (eg, detects a wrist down gesture using motion sensors; 15 ; There is no input of certain types for seconds). In response to determining that the device 600 has met the mode transition criteria, the device 600 begins transitioning to a low power display mode and transitions the system user interface (eg, 1818 , 1820 ) to the user interface 1822 , ie, a lower It is replaced by the clock face user interface, which is the user interface of power consumption. Accordingly, upon determining that the currently displayed user interface is a system interface, device 600 replaces the system interface with a lower power user interface, user interface 1822 . As noted by brightness scale 630 , the overall brightness of the display of device 600 is higher while displaying a system user interface (eg, 1818 , 1820 ) than while displaying user interface 1822 . Accordingly, device 600 consumes less power while displaying user interface 1822 . In some embodiments, upon determining that the currently displayed user interface is a system interface, the device 600, when the mode transition criteria are met, does not decrease in size, and the displayed user interface (eg, 1818 , 1820 ) does not blur out (and, when the user interface is not a system interface, as described above with respect to FIGS. 18A-18C and 18G and 18H , is reduced in size and blurs out the displayed user interface) ).

While displaying user interface 1822 in FIG. 18K and while device 600 is in a low power display mode, device 600 receives a request to transition to a standard display mode (eg, detects a wrist lift gesture). , detecting a tap on the display of device 600). In response to receiving the request to transition to the standard display mode, the device 600 transitions to the standard display mode, and the device 600 enters the low power display mode while the device 600 was displaying a user interface that is a system interface. Upon determining that it has entered, device 600 displays (rather than returning to the display of the system interface) user interface 1824 , as shown in FIG. 18L , which is a standard clock face user interface. Displaying the standard clock user interface 1824 is helpful to the user as it is unlikely that the user will want to return to accessing the system interface (eg, 1818, 1820), and the user can In an unlikely scenario, in which the device 600 would like to re-access the . gestures). The transition between displaying user interface 1822 (corresponding to or equivalent to user interface 808-4) and displaying user interface 1824 (corresponding to or equivalent to 808-8) is illustrated in FIG. 8D . are described in greater detail above with respect to the transition between the user interface 808-4 of FIG. 8H and the user interface 808-8 of FIG. 8H.
